nimdA:
In your opinion what do you think they were attempting to accomplish in these therapy sessions with you as an individual?
I have my own, but I'll refrain from voicing it at this time out of my desire to not want to influence your reponse.

They said it was to take responsibility for myself and to not manipulate people, but I don't know what they were trying to accomplish by forcing people to admit things that they just did not do.

It may seem complex at first, but read it a second time if you don't understand it the first.
--- Quote ---The totalist confession takes on a number of special meanings. It is first a vehicle for the kind of personal purification which we have just discussed, a means of maintaining a perpetual inner emptying or psychological purge of impurity; this purging milieu enhances the totalists' hold upon existential guilt. Second, it is an act of symbolic self-surrender, the expression of the merging of individual and environment. Third, it is a means of maintaining an ethos of total exposure - a policy of making public (or at least known to the Organization) everything possible about the life experiences, thoughts, and passions of each individual, and especially those elements which might be regarded as derogatory.

I have collected a lot of information about totalistic/cult structure that I found was relevant to understanding certain "Why"s of program. Let me know if you'd like to read more.
PS: pardon me if this has already been asked/answered, but, did PV have overnight seminars with games/exercises or anything like that?
