Hi all
I keep an eye on this forum, and thank you Patrick for your recent post about the negatives and positives you got from you Tony Robbins UPW seminar.
I did UPW and WM, and then finally the DWD seminar. Three of the big Tony R events. This was back in 2007-2008 when I was a single Mum working part time, and really doing it tough financially. UPW was like a rock concert where I got so sleep deprived and totally out of it from the love bombing, lack of food, fire walking and mass hypnosis that I signed up for the several thousand dollar DWD seminar. I didn't have the money, so I borrowed it off family, shameful to think I was that sucked in. I didn't finish DWD because I got taken away in an ambulance to a psychiatric ward. At 35 years of age, I had my first psychosis ever, and spent months in hospital and out patient therapy afterwards recovering. I lost my job as I was too ill to work, and somehow my kids and I got by with a disability pension for the next few months.
I had no history of this kind of illness in my life, and I was looking to improve my life when I signed up for a Tony Robbins event. If any of you are ever thinking of signing up for a Tony Robbins seminar, book, audio program, or whatever please know these 2 things : (1) None of the material is original to his organisation, you can learn all of it on Google or by buying psychology texts; and (2) The Tony Robbins machine is totally geared to get whatever money you have no matter what the cost to get you to buy any of his products
I know now that Tony Robbins runs an unethical organisation that takes people's money, and no matter how badly damaged people are after a program, there is NO help, follow up, acknowledgement or refund of money for days lost due to you being put in the looney bin when the "training" tips you off the deep end.
My father is a psychiatric professional and was wholly unsurprised by my experience, desipte me never having had an issue. He said they often had patients admitted who had been to some self improvement seminar and basically become psychotic due to the lack of sleep, lack of food, mass hypnosis and other techniques used. The industry is unregulated and I think this is wrong. My recovery certainly cost the Australian health system a lot of money. That was nine years ago now, and I have not had a psychosis since. Be warned, Tony Robbins runs a very damaging bunch of seminars
Take care all
