Papabear, The answer to you question is yes. PSI uses past graduates from the basic and PSI7 to “staff” the basic. It's basically free labor and more money for them. PSI will tell you that once you complete PSI7 you can audit the basic class at no charge. They also tell you that you can attend as many times as you want. Several times I re-audited the basic and was placed into a gro

I remember those times too. The wall, pole and the ledge. I remember carrying the photos around and showing my family and friends. I remember being disappointed when people was less the enthused with the "new me."

I have experienced PSI seminars. I attended the basic, PSI 7 at the ranch, and Women's leadership seminar at the ranch. I have volunteered to staff basic as well as an advanced seminar. I have lots of experience with PSI. I would not do it again. This seminar screwed me up and I wasted five years, and thousands of dollars of my money. I lost the relationship with my first husband and lost

JaimeA, I found this on another site called ripoffreports.com. I saw it and thought of what you have written. I understand you might be leaning towards going to PSI7 and I would ask you to reconsider. I screwed up my life because I was unable to see passed my own insecurities and believed everything I was told. I destroyed my relationship with my husband and lost the respect of my family

JaimeA, be prepared to lose your boyfriend. The rule for calls out from the ranch are only for life and death emergencies. They don't want you making calls when your in the the program. And when he returns he will try and recruit you to take PSI7 no matter what it takes. If you don't go he will see this as being unsupportive. If you do go you might return to leave him behind as wel

Robert-Paul, I am so sorry that you were hurt by all of this. I know how much I hurt my exhusband with all of this and understand what you're going though. I wished I could make amends to him, and even to the people I recruited to this. I am ashamed of myself.

Steve, my god I could have wrote that post. It explained more than I ever could. I tried to contact my exhusband and found out he moved to another state. I really wanted to tell him I was sorry for the way I treated him during the last months of our marriage and I hope, in some way, he reads this. I feel so empty inside.

I read your post with some interest and wondered how much this is like PSI Seminars. I posted my story on the thread(?) called PSI Seminars, and what happened to me. I was wondering if this was the same as what you're dealing with your sister.

Steve, Sorry I waited to reply, I didn’t have access to a computer as I’ve been looking for a place to live. The answer to your question is I did not have any quilt. At least none that matter to me at the time. When I left my first husband I told myself that the pain he was feeling was his problem, not mine. The pain was his reality, not mine. I was not the cause of his pain. When I

I have decided to take control of my life back. I left my second husband and I feel good about it. Much more so than I did when I left my first. I really miss and wonder how he is doing. I guess you can't go back, but I feel as if I have found something of the person I was before PSI. I still wished I had never heard of this group because the price was just too high. And Joan, I

fictiongirl28, I just read your post. I am glad you made the decision that PSI is not for you. I did and it started me down a path the was best not taken.

Steve, I am so sorry about the problems with your daughters. I was lucky I didn't have any children with my first husband, but I truely believe that if I had I would have left them because of my involvement with my group. How sad is that?

Thanks EZ, I will...
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Steve, I agree with your last post. I am ashamed that I could have been so stupid to fall for PSI seminars. I did believe the group I was in was more important, but I should have known better. It does not make me feel any better that lawyers and police officers are being sucked into this. I feel strange whenever I talk to anyone and wonder if they have been though the training and if I can tr
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Thank you for your words. I feel like such a fool for being that stupid and gullible. I can't even begin to explain my behavior after coming back from PSI 7. I see someone suggested a book on another posting that might explain what I did, even though there was no excuse. I should have known better. I wished I could make even the slightest amends, with not only my ex-husband, b

This sounds exactly what happen to be after PSI 7. Does the effects last for three years? or even longer? I need to get a copy of this book.

Hi, I have read all the posts here on PSI and I would like to add what happened to me. I had a friend, a very good friend, recommend PSI to me about three years ago. I attended the basic class and immediately felt invigorated. I noticed a change in my attitude towards my husband and family. Looking back on it I was a bitch. Nothing was good enough and I wanted more from my relationships then
