"To show up" sounds like a phrase from the other source that Erhard pilfered: Heidegger's phenomenology. QuotePhenomena are not the foundation or Ground of Being.

Don't be tricked by the false dichotomy between "people reporting positive outcomes" from Landmark and "people being damaged psychologically".

It is common for supporters to excuse Landmark for their lawsuits and tactics, saying "Well, they're a business. They have to do what they have to do to protect the business."

Landmark members are conditioned to believe that Landmark is a "high integrity organization". But the more you investigate Landmark, the worse it gets, so if your father wants to contiue in the happy trance he is in, he will have to use Landmark methods to bury himself deeper and deeper in denial.
