True2myth- There are too many LGATs and groups that follow this model to list and keep up with it seems. Not sure what kind of investigation for cult practices you are referring to. As far as these groups go, unless there is abuse etc, nothing is illegal in what they do. Every adult that attends is capable of deciding to stay in the group or not. Here is where we must get creative in making

So glad to hear they are out of the madness.

So sorry to hear Throughmyeyes. This seems to be the theme for relationships when people attend and it's no surprise. I remember sitting through the basic listening to them preach about searching for a "10" in all aspects in life. Too many people believe this and dismiss anything that is less than a "10" in life, not realizing that there is no such thing.

It is not legal for a company to force employees to subject themselves to these. Do you have an HR department? There have been multiple lawsuits against companies that have required their employees to attend these kinds of things.

Freda- Don't be ashamed. Millions of people have been manipulated by these LGATs. What matters is that you "woke up" and realized what they truly are. This is a great place to get support. I am currently working on a project. If you are interested in helping, I would love your support. Feel free to message me and I can give you further details if you are interested. For n

They are scum of the scum- I have a class action attorneys office looking into it all. I also have some other things that I am working on. I can pm you with that info as I don't want any of them to have any kind of heads up during the process. I pray for your girlfriend and everyone else involved in these groups.

I am working on getting people who are up to taking PSI down together. It's gonna take numbers and I think a lawsuit (class-action) is a possibility- it won't necessarily be about money- but actually stopping them. Anyone interested in standing up against them please message me.
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

They're all the same! I will speak with a class action lawsuit lawyer this week among other connections I have made through other organizations. I think if we can start at one and it's successful we can snowball that to the others. Any ideas please share them with me. Leah Remini is making headway in this subject so let's ride this train while it's picking up momentum
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

Here we are in 2017 and PSI is still wreaking havoc "one mind at a time". How about a class action lawsuit? Anyone interested???? These LGAT companies are BUSINESSES not churches, so let's do something! NOW!

I guess it's a little confusing reading your entries. You acknowledge the fact that they manipulate and influence people and "brain wash" yet you state in a previous entry that you enjoyed the program. You have a masters in psychology and are recognizing the techniques and abuse applied in these programs. So why keep in contact and continue to put yourself in a situation that gives

Kdag you're absolutely spot on- it's recognized as one of their tactics to be introduced by someone you trust. That person has already been coerced into their way of thinking so they will swear up and down how much it has changed their lives for the better. This is why they won't advertise- they don't want people knowing about the program without it being from someone who is a

Yes! Our intuition is our built in safety mechanism and they teach you to override it -PSI Seminars uses the tactic that "if you're questioning if it's the right thing to do by continuing your work with the classes, it's just your programs". They say our programs are what have been instilled in us by society and that fighting your programs- you know, the ones that tell yo

You need to contact a lawyer and not be concerned if these HAI support that decision or not. You need to handle what happened to you the correct way- starting with a meeting with an attorney.
Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

I just recently lost a handful of people to an LGAT and it all sounds exactly the same. They are pressured constantly to bring more people in, they believe they see the "truth" about life (these LGATs follow many Scientology practices) and that they should reach for a "10" relationship. Well we know a "10" would mean perfect- nothing is perfect, therefor we (the peop

Forum: Large Group Awareness Training, "Human Potential"

There are so many people on this site looking for answers (myself included). With the help of research and friends I've been doing what I can to fight back, but we need a lot more voices to be heard when it comes to this subject. (My experience has been with an LGAT which is a registered business) Tips I've received and followed through with so far are: -File a complaint with the BBB

HSV- Check out The Awareness Page. They have a ton of information regarding different groups to be wary of. It is a great place to research what you may be dealing with. If it is a business like the LGATs (large group awareness trainings) like Landmark, PSI Seminars, Lifespring etc (there are hundreds of them) a good thing to do is arm yourself with knowledge, let people you know what they reall

A few things people can do to help working towards a solution for LGATs. File a complaint with your Stae Attorney General. File a complaint with the FTC through www.consumeraction.gov. Many of these have numbers you can call if your identity is a concern. The more complaints- the closer to action.

Thank you for the replies! This is why I am here- to collaborate. I have ordered Rick Ross' book Cults Inside Out and will dive in as soon as it arrives.

I am currently watching loved ones get sucked into the PSI Seminars through their thought reform programs. Not only are they broke and ok with it, they are completely cutting off ties with old relationships and true reality. I've attended a seminar and guest events and can personally relate with the techniques used. I see so many people with experiences and stories relating to these dangerou
