Many of the things you described do occur but others that are very extreme that you described did not occur. I think they are careful in that regard. I say that because Texas is a deregulatory state. You could literally do anything and until your caught its nothing. There is no actual state level organization that could regulate them. One of the people who was a facilitator does have a Texas Certification and to have her examined is difficult. The process takes a year and a half and at the time back in 2016 the Psychological Board and Board of Counselors here was going through change. Not to be political but with Republicans running Statewide here a lot of things that need funding for more government services don't get funded so it takes longer. I have up to 5 years from the time of incident. I could still complain. I dont know how. Its not that simple. The attorney when he humilated me he used court techinques that would be used in criminal law. I get the feeling that Counselor Boyd used techniques that Prosecutors use. That this organization pays his bills I don't think his practice does. Your right unless we demanded to see how as a 501 C they operate and even then they probably would refuse. They should not be using Phil Mcgraw's name because Mcgraw sold his interest in 1984 for at that time a few hundred thousand dollars so he has nothing to do with it. NOTHING HE DOES TO MY KNOWLEDGE contradicts tradidtional Psychology he is or was clinically trained your LPC's which this lady was not. Also, going after the Attorney through the bar for defamation would be very difficult because he was not acting as an Attorney when he committed this act and so that is tricky. They are very astitute. Unless I can get past memebers within a 5 year rolling period and figure out how to do a class action civil suit it would be very difficult. I do think that they would be shut down if I sued Phil Mcgraw because they do use his name for the Mcgraw awards. So you described a lot of things and they because they are smart in the way they do things its hard even by definitions you have correctly set out for them to be considered an official cult even though I agree that they do border on it. The question is how do we find a way to either shut this organization down and bring them into the public eye because they are either are hidden OR there is positive press about them when there is press or at least have them siginificantly regulated so they can't get away with cult tendenecies and yet not do damage. I know based on what one of the people who is no longer with them as an employee but still is supportive of the organization told me and that is that they have had situations during this so called "WALK" where 10 people or more were forced out. So then becomes the question how do we hold this organization accountable or have it shut down.
See it would be very easy if the more extreme parts of what you laid out were present even in a Conservative state like Texas. But unfortunately they are not. That's the part that makes it hard to regulate these people especially here. What do we do so that this organization is either shut down or SIGNIFICANTLY REGULATED so that they can't do to me to any other individual. That's what I want to know.
