QuoterrmoderatorShy: That's a fairly typical response, i.e. "it surely isn't in line with mine." I understand that it is a very typical response. As i said, i'm not here to defend the workshops i did (whether they're good or bad). I am here to express the result of these workshops.

Magpie, I CAN honestly say there was no other way to where i am now besides the LGAT i took part in. Reason for that is, i have a history of mental illness (locked up insane) and the LGAT managed to treat that to the point where i am no longer on medication.

QuotemagpieHave any one of you ever considered that the positivity you feel is because of the mind manipulation? I never considered the LGAT i did to be mind manipulation.

Good evening, I did a set of these LGAT trainings (now almost two years ago) here in South Africa. I went in with a history of mental institutions, psychologists and psychiatrists. This was, as I saw it, my last hope. If this did not work, I was prepared to kill myself and take myself out of the misery I experienced then.
