Anyone recently taken the seminar,can you answer ...

[Curious One]

For those that have taken the courses recently, why do you need to stay away from relationships? One of the strict rules is not to engage in sexual relationships with yourself or others for the five days. It also states no relationship with staff members. Why would this be a focus? Why do they have in their rules that you can have no form of electronic communication.

I have someone close to me that just went through the first seminar and is about to do the second one. Almost anyone he has been close with prior to starting he is pushing away. Prior to this experience he didn't demonstrate any of those issues.

A lot of things to me are red flags, like the incredibly long hours and blocking out making decisions for two weeks but most report to your counselor from the sessions...
