Hi Truthnow
Thanks for your honest post. It has made me feel a lot better about the state I was left in after attending Date with Destiny. I also spent a fortune on Unleash the Power Within and Wealth Mastery. As a 35 year old, I had never had any history of psychosis or serious mental illness. I did everything I was told to, “played full out”, did the Baker act, the lot. As I had no history of psychosis, I didn’t realise that not sleeping, eating and getting love bombed, hypnotised, and generally brainwashed flipped me into a brief psychosis at UPW. I was lucky that I didn’t do anything too radical during the 3 or 4 days after returning home when I was convinced I had some special powers. I was completely hooked on the TR machine though, and DWD really got me excited. They kept that lottery running where if you won, you got to go to the Fiji conference... the only catch was if they drew your number while you were out of the room, you didn’t get the prize. I was a sole parent and didn’t have the money for this next level course, so I stayed in the room. Hard to sleep when we were finishing at 1am and starting at 8am and I was commuting an hour each way. Also hard to eat and drink. I think it was day 3 or 4 I thought I was sitting beside my beloved dead father, talking with him. I had become psychotic, and had no idea. I was euphoric that my dad was there with me, and really wanted to thank Tony for letting me see my dad again. Gee, that was hard. I tried everything I could to meet him, but trainers kept telling me I couldn’t. So I just raced through the building, chased by security, and got backstage. There was Tony!!! Hooray I thought, but then I was wrestled to the ground, handcuffed and sent off to a psych hospital where they medically treated my psychosis. I assaulted a man on the way to the ambulance, lost me job, I lost my money, and worst of all, I put my kids in danger.
You know what I got from Tony Robbins after all of this?
Nothing
No acknowledgement
No follow up
No return of $ spent on a the rest of the DWD course I missed
Now I treat all self help gurus, Amway, Landmark, some religions, high intensity training courses, etc with great caution. Because here in Australia, these industries and organisations are not regulated.
Thanks so much for your honest message, it is the first one I have found from someone who was on the ‘inside’.
