The picture we see - the bizarre manipulative - things he said to different people - all being slightly wild and unethical infringing on their rights - add up to a profile of an unusual and nasty person - one with an antisocial personality abnormality of some sort perhaps. Given his childhood abuse modelling antisocial behaviors, forcing him to manipulate rather than communicate due to neglect, and lack of nurture from family - it makes sense such a problematic personality would develop. This would explain why he was confuse... read more

It’s just.. very easy to take religion, self improvement or therapy.. rat chose therapy.. and wrap standard psychopath manipulations within the subject you are supposedly teaching.. go back and forth between the two.. people don’t expect self serving psychiatric manipulation so they believe it when you point toward therapy when any questions about your behavior arise. They aren’t experts in therapy, and conveniently, you explicitly tell them that you won’t reveal your therapy techniques because you supposedly want them to fi... read more

At first, I did not care much about the guy, but him demanding and urging me to see him and smiling, giggling, having a sparkle in his eye and being unscrupulous about urging me into the group did me in. Also him saying whatever I wanted to hear to bond me and win me over. He lied and said 'Women in the group will go crazy over you.' These are all violations of the power and authority of being in a provider position, and providers are warned and instructed not to abuse that power - he abused it as a career. I described this ... read more

The you do all these - new, unnatural - behaviors from the group - and wonder why is your life falling apart and why is everyone hating you. You end up confusing it with pre existing issues you had and blaming yourself. In fact - if you brought it up to the rat - he would say exactly that - it’s your pre existing issues and not him. But he would just be lying, being in denial about his grandiosity and entitlement, and gaslighting and doing salesmanship.

A group where Ranting, Outbursts, Ganging up on one person, Telling people off, and acting without ANY boundaries and saying whatever stupid thing comes into your mind without any concern for consequences of what you said is the opposite of what you should practice for the real world.

Another,.. interesting aspect is that I started getting dysregulated about specific things: my family; my friends; lack of coordination; frustrating things in my life; Before group, I could tolerate these stresses and just let it all (stresses, frustrations, family stress) just let it slide off of me like rain sliding down my body - annoying, but I would tolerate it. On week 3 of group, I was easily dysregulated and I would pace up and down the street thinking my way into confrontation, drama, conflict, drastic conflict ... read more

The snake advised this group member to go confront their male neighbor about something (he was talking to them too much). 'I feel this, I feel that.' Imagine a person at a bakery, telling the people behind the counter 'I feel this, I feel that. I feel you are this. I feel you are that.' And notice how it is always 'I feel whatever about you.' It is like a confrontational projection and aggression and harassment of other people based on your own psychosis developed by the therapist and his theories. And completely socia... read more

IN his group, something about being taught to react too soon, rather than letting things be and not reacting at all at least in the immediate future, is what the group modelled - instant unboundaried offensively abusive and incorrect outbursts at people. That is what he modelled. In real life, you would never react so soon and so violating boundaries and so offensively like in his group. Another example of harmful inappropriate things he taught.
