I attended a PSI seminar and am sorry I did. Since when is one man with huge issues and no psychology degrees qualified to do "light hypnosis" and regression therapy? Now I understand why the PSI questionnaire inquires about your mental health! These people are about to launch an entire room of people (some with very obvious mental health issues) in to a new realm from which they may never return! Never in my life have I heard so much wailing and mashing of teeth as this self proclaimed Jim Jones Koolaid Master leads them in to the "junk yard" in an attempt to rid each one of their past "demons" and bring them to a new self realization that will forever change life as they know it. After the "session from ***" you are sent off with your "micro group" to enjoy lunch with total strangers at the local burger joint; then return for another gruelling 8 hours of sitting in the worst chairs ever invented to listen to stories so strange you'll never need a perm again! I left wondering why anyone would want to return to a ranch in the boondocks and entrust their lives to total strangers who lost what few rocks they had left to a man who calls his disciples "lovely's"? Thanks but no thanks. Think I'll invest the "arm and leg" it costs to attend PSI 7 and leadership in a trip to Hawaii where my mental health will surely be intact upon my return home!

My partner at PSI 7 had his wife leave him and accuse him of cruelty and abuse. I do not know where this came from. He was working on himself to be a better husband and father. It tears my heart. I think she was reading about how many came back from PSI and broke off their marriages. He wanted the opposite and got it anyway:(
As for me, the experience was positive. My life and relationship has been helped. But the truth is that we each need to walk our own walk. Taking the time and $ for an intense experience to examine yourself can help you to change for the better. For reasons like you find here, I would avoid it if you are not well grounded. No-where outside yourself can you find what you really want and need. There are many ways to find this. PSI is one that works for some, but not without some risk.
