Hi Lovebug, I don't know anything about Impact Training at all. However you could try researching Dr Janja Lalich's website There are various podcasts Dr Janja Lalich speaks about cults, her experience and how to communicate with someone in a cult. You can also contact her she may have heard of the group. Wishing you the best on your research journey. Wiser Aussi

It never ceases to amaze how unoriginal these self appointed gurus are. Breaking the Arrow against the soft part of the throat was also done in "Powerful Presentations". This seminar was run by "Excellerated Business School" and you had to have done the "Money & You" Seminar first. I did this "Breaking the Arrow" and the soft part of my throat wa

Hi Everyone, This tragedy occurred over a decade ago, but still poignant and sad. To think these self appointed gurus, leaders, presenters, motivational speakers, whatever they want to call themselves, still don't get it! I feel for all three families. A grief that's irreconcilable. My deepest sympathy goes out to them. I was looking at the Seek Safely website and I urg

Hi Everyone, Does anyone know what the copyright laws are playing music in a public function? The Money & You Seminar plays a lot of music from different artists and genres during the 3 1/2 days.

Some food for thought. One only has to google Notable Money and You Graduates and see the long list of names that this organisation is obviously proud. These people have success because they took Money and You. Some of these graduates also took est, Landmark Forum etc. Also dabbling with Clearing/Auditing and perhaps Scientology.

Burklyn Business School has evolved into Excellerated Business School. Marshall Thurber was also a co-founder. I remember when I attended the Money and You Seminar they talked about SuperCamp a program similar to Money and You, but designed for teenagers.

Hi Everyone, The Money and You Expose was titled, "Blinded by the Light" 1993 It was an ABC Four Corners Documentary and the reporter was Rev. Dr David Millikan.

I am sorry you are struggling. At this time frame recovery is beginning. However with mental illness it's much more traumatic. I'm sorry you are going through such a difficult time. Did they ask you to fill in a Psychological and Mental Health Form prior to starting? This was the case in Money and You. It did puzzle me at the time. It was a red flag I overlooked. Studies h

This is the pattern when you've done a high pressure course with mind control techniques. Unfortunately relationships suffer. Its that arrogance to force your new views and beliefs onto those nearest and dearest. This is exactly what was done to us in the training. Its understandable that relationships break down. We have been broken down. Its been almost 3 decades since I left

Some questions for Money and You Graduates: 1) Did your personality change after taking the seminar? Were you confused and didn't know where to turn? 2) Did your family and friends say, "You've changed!" Did your experience cause friction in your relationships? Did you divorce your spouse? 3) Was your time consumed with everything Money and You? 4) Did yo

This is the sad situation about being traumatized by the psychological techniques used by unqualified presenters of these LGATS. You lose yourself and to some extent your identity by these LGATS and that's precisely what happens. You end up not trusting your instincts. This is why these groups are so dangerous and damaging.
