Fair enough! He practices a type of therapy that has been labeled by some as being cultic and it may very well occur that way for people.. and he also offers a perspective on how other types of therapy could be cultic in nature: I still think it's valuable perspective.

I once managed to get in touch with a very famous hypnotist, after having spent a dangerous amount of time in a group that I didn't realize was cultic (it's considered a psychotherapy cult in the way that Lauliza's article referenced), which had used things like hypnotic suggestion to create psychological anchors in such a way that continually retriggered the effects of trauma and which created dependence on their organization; once I'd severed ties I found that I could not undo what they had done. So I was wondering what the opinion of this illustrious hypnotist might be on whether it was possible, under the right circumstances, to use hypnosis to undo it. It was interesting because he told me that I shouldn't talk to anyone using hypnosis ever again, and that if I was currently in communication with anyone like that I should discontinue communication immediately.. and he didn't disclude himself from the explanation. I was glad to take that particular advice at face value, despite that it left my recovery travelling on a very slow road.
