Gregory Bateson soon after endorsing B&G repudiated both of them and NLP when later asked about NLP stated: 'If someone says they know NLP, run don't walk away from them.' Bateson was ticked off at them because he saw the toxic direction NLP had took and that a lot of it's leading adherents went power mad.

Milton Erickson never had a good thing to say about either since he had to tell both of them to leave after only two days at his home.

Satir, well she was Bandler's psychotherapist. Bandler and the NLP community has done everything possible to cover up this part of his personal history, along with his cocaine addiction, the murder of one woman and the odd death of his second wife and now him battling diabetes. NLPers have a vested interest in promoting a squeaky clean if eccentric bandler as it's co-founder instead of the out of control coke addict and all around SOB that has lied about everything he's every done.

Here's one link:

Oh and what Corboy has stated is very much true, if you use NLP techniques on people without their conscious approval - it will turn into a monster much like the many high profile trainers in the NLP community. Worse this is encouraged by the trainers, they routinely tell students to go out and practice on people without their consent during the breaks.

How does performing techniques on people without their consent turn one into a monster? Because you cease to respect that person's boundries and rights not to be screwed with, you in effect reduce them to a object like box. Kinda like the same way psychopaths view people.

Even short(weekend or week long) but intense workshops can negatively affect a person's mental health.

I attended some years back a week long NLP course, at first I enjoyed it but about a month later I started having all sorts of nasty inter personal issues and bouts of helplessness, confusion, that persisted for a year, etc. Mind you the trainer was using all sorts of covert hypnosis during the 12 hour a day, week long course.

Another short course I took was a two day Sufi Meditation seminar which was not overtly cult like but used a lot of cult indoctrination techniques. Lots of chanting, staring into each other eyes for extended periods, weird breathing techniques that put people into estatic states, etc. Lots of folks didn't have a positive time either. From my research the teacher(Puran Bair) was sort of legit but evidently invented his own meditation sytem and borrowed heavily from 3HO. Which is really bad.

Here's the thing real Sufis don't use estatic states, they are generally frowned upon because students can develop a addiction.

Bottom line, short courses can be just as pernicious as a long course depending on the trainer.

My advice to folks is this; if you attend a seminar start feeling nauseous, weak or just don't like whats going on - Leave!

If you attend a seminar and everyone is getting some sort of emotional high at the same time and you're feeling like you've won the lottery - Leave.

Both are symptoms of maniupulation by the trainer.

@walter1963

You've obviously been there and got the t-shirt.
Senior Trainers of a guy like Richard Bandler, can tie people in "loops" that they are literally not aware of.

There is evidence in this thread, that Byron Katie copied techniques from the same area, and from the Ericksonian hypnosis area. There are many hard facts in this thread, showing how she literally copied some of those patterns verbatim.

Its very very hard to combat these LGAT techniques, as if you attend a seminar, and are detached, the Gurus underlings will notice you.
Some of those with industry contacts were able to get "free tickets" or play the "refund" game, and were able to see the top people. But when you are detached, and observing their techniques, people notice.
Some get hostile.
They think you are stealing their content.

But only an experienced expert can go into the lion's den. Once you get to the top of the food chain, like near the Bandler people, its very dangerous, as they can hit you unconsciously.
Never bring money, or any cards, never bring a purse or wallet, and NEVER sign or buy anything.
Never let them push you around.

As stated if you start feeling "spacey" just leave.
If anyone gets into your face with high-pressure, always have a water bottle on hand, that can "slip" and dump into their $800 suit. Interrupt their pattern.


And stay off the phone with them, as stated. There are other threads here showing their phone techniques.

And those guys do have a CONSCIENCE.
Their conscience and morality tells them its unethical to NOT take your money.
They believe its ethical to take all your money, to teach you a lesson. They could not care less if their customers get pushed into being bankrupt from their schemes.
That is the school of hard knocks, and they don't care.

They literally believe its moral and ethical to take all of your money. Just like its moral and ethical for a lion to eat the gazelle.
