I think that, in understanding the biology of the "transformation" and the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours associated with this state, participants may feel more in control of what happened, particularly if this state resulted in impulsive behaviour that caused personal or professional problems. There's no reason to believe that, for most, there will be permanent biological harm. The harm may be a feeling of being taken advantage of, which may be difficult to accept and process. I think that, when you consider the sophistication of the processes and the average intelligence of participants (who have been fooled by these processes), it is easier to accept that this has taken place. It then, I believe, becomes easier to move forward.
