PSI Seminars

This company PSI Seminars is a scam and a cult. I attended the Basic seminar at the request of my sister who had attended earlier. My wife, who knows me better than myself sometimes, told me not to go. I wish I had listened to her. The price was $ 475 for the three day weekend course. It was a total waste of money. PSI uses all the «brainwashing» methods to get everyone in the seminar worked up to the point of crying. It was actually very disturbing. I understand everyone has their problems, buy PSI capitalizes on using techniques to get people in the seminar to expose very personal and very sensitive information on themselves. Many of the people in the class were loudly sobbing. They also use meditative techniques to get people to a more suggestive state. They also use the «bandwagon» effect of high energy, were all having fun, everything is great exercises. The whole semiar takes people through very high and low energy states. It is demeaning at times by telling eveyone they have some seroius problems and basically the only way to fix them is to attend the next (more expensive) seminars and also to bring more people to sign up for the Basic seminar. They use the RED/​BLACK GAME to try to show everyone that competeing is not the answer. The answer is working together and this is why you all have problems.
Basically, the whole «seminer» is a cult push to get you into a suggestive state to bring more people to sign up and to get you to personally sign up for more expensive courses. I have read MANY great books like «The Secret», «The Power of Postitive Thinking», «the Future is Your’s, DO Somethign About It.» All are VERY good books. I am a very positive person and I didn’t need this course at all. I don’t think anybody does.
I should also state that my father amd mother both attended the courses (at the request of my sister) and they both agree that it is a very strange course that is trying to expand their business and get peoples money by by using very odd «brainwashing» techniques.
My sister, looking back after several months of attended several expensive PSI courses, admits it was a mistake and basically a waste of money and even more so her time in trying to apply al the tecniques that they told her to do. My sister is also a Doctor, but she more «open» to suggestion than the rest of the family. We all look back on it it now as a bad experience for all of us — but welcome to life. Life has plenty of negative experiences and we all move on and hopefully learn from them. Please do not waste your time or money on PSI seminars because that is exactly what you will be doing if you attend them.

The reason why I am giving PSI a one star rating is because they were unaccountable to do what they said they would do and were very disrespectful given the circumstances to me on getting a refund.
I was invited to attend this course by a friend. I ended up in March paying $ 420 to sign up for a summer course. They were suppose to contact me to give me the dates before the seminar. They never did. I did get in the mail a letter from them and tried contacting the people on the page, no one returned any of my phone calls. After many calls to the Honolulu Office I ended up calling this California office. They said they would refund me within 4 – 6 weeks (It was July 7^th) as well as the $ 50 deposit because it was their fault.
The refund was post marked Oct 14^th (took over 9 weeks to send it! Not 4 – 6 weeks like they said) to get here and they took out the $ 50. They were not understanding on the phone. Bottom line I do not trust them cause many times they said one thing and do another.

I took the Basic 20 years ago, and I’m still using the tools.
The energy I’m the office is great, and it’s tastefully decorated.
