Hello goneinawhistle,
Yes,that is quite worrisome that only yesterday that article was published. As far as I am concerned it is irresponsible of those in the public arena who are not formally qualified in psychology/psychiatry/counselling or any other therapeutically accredited/certified recognised related industry to be sprouting the accolades of a dangerous and damaging mind altering course. There is a reason our trained professionals spend years at university crafting their trade. The general public are impressionable and will not investigate for themselves.
My ex has completely pushed me away - as Corboy rightly mentioned - he ghosted me when he had said his piece and had enough. If it wasn't harmless - why the secretes? Why the word scramble to create groupthink and alienate those around them who do not partake. It certainly does not replicate the Maslow's Theory I learnt. A person should not "graduate" from a self help course. Growth is not one dimensional with an end point.
There is no peer reviewed study or scientifically backed paper that I can find that supports inducing fear, brainwashing and psychologically damaging techniques masquerading as "self-help". That alone should be a red flag to anyone.
