PSI Seminars

In my experience, PSI Seminars is misleading and feels like a well-disguised scam. Be cautious and dont get drawn in or waste your money.

They initially claim that the payment is refundable, but its been nearly a year, and we are still fighting to get our money back.

The seminar felt more like a cult than a personal development course. Many of the mentors particularly some from the Chinese community claimed the seminar changed their lives, but one of them was actually a close friend of mine, and I can tell you their real life doesnt reflect those claims at all.

We were a group of five who were pressured by our supervisor to attend. Three of us walked out during the first two days because it was boring and felt completely pointless. The remaining two said the three days they spent there were some of the biggest wastes of time in their lives.

To this day, none of us have received a refund.

Whats even more concerning is that many attendees didnt even seem to know why they were there they were just following the lead of these so-called mentors.

From our perspective, the seminar offers no real benefit and left us feeling misled.

Thats my honest opinion. Please do your own research and be cautious

I had a great experience at both the PSI Basic seminar and PSI 7. No, I didn't go all full tilt cult like some people claim.

I haven't been involved with them in almost two decades, but what I got from them I still apply today. You know how some people think any salesperson at a store who dares to even greet them at the door is pushy, money-grubbing *** only out to get them to spend their life savings? Those sorts of people tend to look at groups like PSI as cults. I don't see PSI that way.

They didn't get me to liquidate my IRA, they didn't get me to mortgage the house, and when I was done, I was done. There was no pressure to continue, no Scientology-like shaming from people that were still involved. I'm friends to this day with many of the people I met at PSI. I think if you're in a rut, a group like PSI is going to be a less expensive alternative to, say, Tony Robbins.

(Note - I've done a couple of Tony's courses, too - PSI and Tony Robbins each have their merits.) I'd say if you're the crunchy granola-type, PSI is more likely for you. If you're urbane, Tony Robbins might be more your speed. But they're both teaching similar things, even though they are each definitely distinct as to the specifics of what is taught and how it's taught. PSI, I think, provides good value.

Back to the earlier point, though - if you're looking to make a breakthrough in your life, PSI could be for you. But - and I don't need you to convince me so much as be really, really honest with yourself about this - if you're generally a suspicious person, or if you frequently think people are out to take advantage of you, don't go to PSI. You'll think they're a cult.

They're not. But no matter what they do, some people are always going to think so.

I was a young man with severe trauma. I associated my sister's drug-addicted illnesses as my own fault and doing.

I broke wide open and needed mentorship, but instead, I was judged by staff as some attention seeker. This program is good for business people who want to excel and be held accountable. However, when it comes to true, authentic and heart-conscious mentorship, this program is as cold as ice. Maybe it differs elsewhere, but here in Vancouver, I was left with *** in my heart and shame for letting my turmoil surface, causing discomfort for others.

Matt Chan rubbed me the wrong way on multiple occasions. I think he's more interested in getting paid by PSI than in leading a wholesome organization. As a young man with very little parenting, I've struggled incredibly. This organization could have been a turning point in my life if its knowledge had been associated with care and consciousness for my well-being.

Instead, it left me with more depression and anxiety. I wouldn't recommend this program to anyone. But again, if you're hungry for success, they do teach win-win business ethics and can help identify your subconscious blocks.

The issue is there's zero follow-up or counseling for sensitive individuals who might be blaming themselves for things that were ultimately not within their control. If they had any mental health resources for follow-up, this program could have been life-changing.

I'm in disbelief that this cult organization is still being allowed to operate anywhere in the world. My two daughters, son-in-law, my wife, and I enrolled in the basic course in Phoenix about 10 years ago.

After completing the basic course, I saw through the multilevel aspects of this scam you're running. Unfortunately, one daughter who was married, had two children and was pregnant with a third child, didn't listen to me and she and her husband continued signing up for more and more advanced classes, paying thousands of dollars that they didn't have. She and her husband were split into different groups at one advanced class. Her husband was matched up with a divorced woman and soon started an affair with that woman and left my pregnant daughter and two children.

Your organization continued facilitating this relationship my son-in-law was having. My family spent over a year living in *** My health was impacted negatively by this separation and I've never fully recovered. I'm shocked you're still in business selling this scam.

All of you involved should be ashamed of yourselves. Before I leave this earth, I hope to see PSI stopped as you ruin many lives.

I have a child with someone who went through most, or all of PSI.

We met sometime after she took the basic. Then she went to the ranch for a week, things werent the same after.

She became pregnant right away, and the long and short of it is that she had "her" baby. She is now 5 years old. Ive sent about $70k in child support, and spent about $60k on lawyers. All just to see my child every second weekend.

I believe PSI made her very self focused, and she truly believed that she could manifest any situation just by wanting it.

The course took her money, and messed up her mind. Her life is a mess, and she takes care of her handful of kids from a handful of dads.

She has tried to get me to do the basic several times. It was directly tied to extra access to my child.

Letter I sent to the PSI staff. Instead of a refund, they invited me back.

To the PSI Basic Seminar Staff ~

This letter is to express my disappointment with my experience during the PSI Basic Seminar in Las Vegas, January 20-22, 2023. Specifically, my concerns relate to the seminar facilitator, Fred. Throughout the seminar, Fred promoted his accomplishments and behaviors. His relationship endeavors where if he knew a womans last name, he was in the relationship for too long.

How degrading to women. However, Fred took this as a platform to brag. As he also did with his income, living location and the fact he drives expensive cars. Great for him.

While most people he spoke to gathered the funds to attend this seminar. We reached out to PSI to gain insight on how to overcome obstacles that became roadblocks in our lives. Not to have our presenter take time from our opportunity to learn. This is not the stage for Fred to gloat and boast.

In addition, Freds interactions with others in the seminar were harsh, cut people off, and demeaning. I felt embarrassed for some members of the seminar as Fred attacked what members of the group were sharing. I understand he was attempting to make a point, or to promote a unique perspective, but he did not need to use the tone he used.

Freds harsh demeanor became a punch in the gut on Sunday, January 22, 2023. The closing activity the prior night was the Red/Black Game.

I participated in this activity a few years ago during a similar seminar. As I knew the objective, I had an unfair advantage. When Fred asked if anyone participated in this activity in the past, I raised my hand. Fred had me meet him in the back of the room, which I did.

I found it quite uncomfortable as Fred did not look at me as he spoke to me. He turned his head away from me as he spoke. At that time, he presented himself in a manner that represented his displeasure with me. Fred provided me with two options; sit-out and watch the game or participate but do not share the objective.

I chose to sit in the back of the room and observe the game. At the evening's closing, Fred reviewed the game's win/win concept. He assigned our homework assignment, which included drafting a story of how the way we participated in this game reflected how we function in our daily lives. Fred added that we should write for an hour.

I wanted to receive the most from this seminar, so I was

February 7, 2023 dedicated to completing each homework assignment. The fact I chose to sit-out was on point with how I participated in life, which is what I wrote about. Getting up in front of a room full of strangers and sharing intimate details about yourself is a vulnerable step. However, I was motivated to share to help myself and to help others.

Throughout the weekend, members of the seminar thanked me for my share. The story I took the time to write had the ability to help others. Also, my goal was to break through what I could do to move beyond this experience that has been haunting me. It was a brave step for me to come out of the shadows and share my story.

As I took the time to draft my story, I brought my notebook to the front of the room to read. Fred instructed me not to read from my notebook. I informed him that I took the time to draft my story, which is important to me, and I would like to read my words. With a sarcastic tone, Fred commented, you have to read your story, you dont know your story?

I reiterated that I like to write and wished to read my story. As I was a little more than halfway through my story, Fred interrupted me. He stated, Denise, is there a purpose to your story? I informed him yes and to please let me continue.

I began reading again and Fred interrupted me again with a rude and harsh tone. He scolded me in front of the other members stating that others want to share. As I knew and Fred knew as well, that was not the case. The same people shared each time, and I waited to present until most regulars presented.

After this humiliation and emotional punch to the gut, I grabbed my belongings and looked at Fred informing him, I will not let you. bully me! He gave me a less than enthusiastic shrug, which represented he did not care. In tears, I made my way through the lobby of the hotel.

To add to my humiliation, where I wanted to be less conspicuous to the hotel guests, Jenn followed me yelling for me to stop, stating this could be a pivotal moment. A pivotal moment? I was embarrassed, humiliated, and now being chased through a hotel lobby. No, this is a scarring moment.

Not my overall goal for attending PSI.

People who reach out to PSI are looking to improve themselves. Looking for resources and tools to overcome obstacles blocking their path to happiness. It was very hypocritical of Fred to preach about win/win, but not conduct himself in the same manner. How difficult would it have been to refrain from interrupting me and refrain from making rude comments directed towards me and my intimate story?

Wouldnt that have been a win/win situation? In addition, my story may have helped others. This was not Freds place to question the purpose of my story. His words ripped a scab off my wound and left an open sore.

Extremely damaging behavior from someone who has been assigned the role to help guide others. We learn from others experiences. He silenced my opportunity to share and help others. However, Fred would go on and on about his escapes, sexual encounters, his prestigious jobs, his upscale neighborhood, and fancy cars.

What is Freds purpose for this role? Is it for self-promotion?

What took place on Sunday, January 22, 2023, while at the PSI seminar solidified why I sit out in life. Watch while others enjoy the experience of life. Yet again, I took a chance, came out of the shadows, only to experience additional emotional harm.

You cannot fathom the gut-wrenching emotional pain this experience had on me. We come to PSI with little broken pieces we are trying to mend back together. Why, oh why, did Fred take it upon himself to rip me into more tiny pieces?

I am less than disappointed with my experience with PSI. My long-term goal was to continue with PSI in the advanced courses.

Due to Fred and his treatment towards me, this is no longer my goal. In addition, I am requesting a refund of the registration fee for the Basic Seminar of $795.00.

As stated, if we are not satisfied with our experience, we may request a refund. I am making this request.

As a delinquent teen and high school drop back in the late 90s and 2000s it was pure clean productive and pointed me in the right direction.

I am 48 now with trauma survival success, extreme achievement drive insight awareness and well develop sense of humanity. I have succeed in psychology, corrections and law and helped thousends without force or fear and patience allowing society to grow at their own pace. Today I relax and enjoy successful reflection on all my accomplishments and growth. I have survived severe mind control attempts abuse and unlawful attempts to destroy my life for no reason because Shelly thought she was the chosen one with more power and control to determine whose life should be preserved and who should kill themselves. I experienced severe and unauthorized attempts by aunatorized professionally trained fraudentelly advertising their superior thinking skills which include who should. It was *** disgusting disturbing dangerous insane narcissistic superiority that level with planned serial killing and totally irrational expectations on known vulnerable with no mercy whatsoever and completely absurd that they actually think its legal for them to victimized and kill people they dont know and that they expected execution compliance and that they are authorized by the White House to do this to innocent people they think its ok to hunt. Classic criminal thinking and absolute delusional expecting of criminal compliance. They are the most extreme predators Ive ever seen in my life and will never be able to allow themselves to interact safely with victims and public. Nor will they ever admit how dangerous they are to the public. They used to be safe but will never be safe again and must be tightly supervised in high security terrorist monitoring in Colorado be trained actually trained professional. Neither should ever be given access to children or elderly and should never be allowed to communicate with any other human or living animal or being again. They must be reported as a serious threat to the president and never allowed access to him because they will corrupt him physically and mental and wont be able to stop harming him until he is dead. Shelly has admitted to causing a disabled non threatening mental health patient to buy a gun and kill a priest on command then command him to terrorized everybody around the body. They cant even be excused as a precieved threat. Shelly is a capital murderer that Texans must kill immediately before more people die. Kathy is just as bad because she thinks she can convince people that they must kill themselves because they cant be as good as her. Both want more people dead and can kill people who want to live cause everybody wants to be them. It is so disturb and so sick its unexplainable and has to be shut down immediately and destroyed with no access to anything alive. They must be reported to secret service and absolute no access to any human or animal ever again.

My abusive was addictive to them and they wanted me dead.

I think this stuff happens when smart people become self indulgent and entitled with zero remorse or desire to kill going forward.

Recovering survivor.

Brave enough to fight

Subtle enough to feel the power

Self aware enough to know when to stay out of things

I hope nobody can ever convince any of you that gangstalking me is legal now and I pray that god loves me enough to keep me alive

God, please forgive this demons who dont precieve threat appropriate. Please never let anybody convince themselves this level of predatory behavior in normal and dominate. Please fix their minds and love them unconditionally but never let them hunt anybody.

My life is over and I contribute to retirement loves me without death.

I know you love and fix everybody and trust you can see the difference and in response to the command today I refuse to die and Ill never share that god ever gave you the sort of gift I have. Neither of you are ever authorized to contact any living being on this site so never come. Youre disgusting and so sick. I hope god makes you pay for trying to kill me today and for trying to brainwash me again. You cant ever contact me again. I hope god kills you without ever experiencing human again.

I attended the Basic Seminar last year. The cost was pricey but I had a friend who had attended and swore by it.

I gave it a chance.

During the weekend seminar it was okay. I dont have anything negative to say, I did come to some realizations so it wasnt a complete waste.

My review is a buyer beware. Once you have completed the basic they begin to really push the PSI life course. They make it seem like this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, that to make a change you have to start within.

Then you have all the people who have volunteered (who have completed and are fully immersed in this organization) pushing it on you.

Now I regretfully gave in and decided to enrol.

There was I believe a discount if you purchased at the seminar. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS.

Had I slept on the decision I would have not done it, once you pay you will never see your money again.

Now fast forward to when the retreat is supposed to begin. There was a zoom meeting where they discussed what to expect.

Now not only did I pay over $5,000, but a week before we were notified that we were sleeping in bunk beds in a room with other people, sharing 1 communal bathroom and the scariest part was that we were not allowed to use our cell phones for the entirety of 7 days. Not even to contact family.

There had been someone on the call who was a mother and she said but what if I just want to check in with my kids at night the response was, well do you trust who you are leaving them with, then you dont need to call

You could also tell that most of the people had just finished the basic seminar.

Hearing everyone talk sounded as though they had been brainwashed. They were using the same terminology.

At this point it had been about 6 months from when I completed the initial basic seminar.

Right then and there I was beyond uncomfortable and was not okay with partaking in the retreat.

I told them I was cancelling and then I had 2 other members who shouldnt have known anything about me cancelling began message me within the hour, ironically telling me about their amazing experience.

I am now out over $5,000. No services provided just free hard earned money given to this organization who is supposed to want do good in the world and help people.

Its a business first and foremost.

Their concern is not about you but about your money.

If you are considering doing the retreat do not sign up right away. Give yourself a month to reflect and then decide.

I took an exam at one of their testing centers, and apparently they didn't have any of the security paper they were supposed to provide me with in order to use as a temporary license. The testing center didn't have any and despite my best efforts to get it from them, they insisted that they didn't have anymore.

I decided to call their support number. One of their support agents told me in order for them to ship it to me, I must pay $50 or something along those lines. *** that! I am expected to pay again after already paying to take the test and get my temporary license?

It literally says that the testing center must provide it to me on the document they printed out on regular paper. After calling the second time and speaking with someone else, they told me everything I wanted to hear. They told me that they were bringing the issue to a higher priority status, and it was going to arrive at my house within 10 business day. A week passes and I begin to wonder how long this is going to take, so I call again to check.

I talk to another person over the phone and give them my support ticket. All for them to tell me that absolutely nothing and I mean nothing has been done yet.

*** they didn't even review the request the last agent sent. *** surreal.

I am writing this review to share with you my own personal experience with PSI Seminars. I had attended the Basic and I do not have anything bad to say about it, it was quite a bit of money but that aside there were quite a few good moments and I met some great people.

On the last day we were given information regarding the 7-day Life Success Course, of course it looked appealing especially after being told that if you purchase before the end of the Basic you would get $1,000 off of the total amount.

There were other members who had completed the course and swore by it so I decided to go for it. Now yes, I did read that in the fine print that there were no refunds but I admit that I got consumed and influenced by the environment. Please keep in mind I was also extremely hesitant because it was still going to cost me over $6,000 but everyone kept stating that it was $1,000 less and an experience of a lifetime.

Now due to work I had to change my original scheduled week, I would have preferred a refund but I ended up changing the dates to the following month. Not even a week prior to the retreat we had a zoom conference call with everyone that would be attending.

Unfortunately following that zoom call I felt very uneasy. This wasnt due to fear of change or whatever other reasoning they had come up with. This legitimately had to do with the fact that it was in a remote area, we were notified not even a week prior information that we did not know before. We were told that we would essentially have absolutely no access to our phones and that only staff members would have access to the main line/internet.

We were also notified that the quarters we would be staying in were first come first serve basis and some rooms had double beds while others had bunk beds and one communal bathroom. If I am spending over $6,000 on a 7 day retreat, I would like to have my own room and worst case have one person to share the room with. AGAIN, not notified of this until not even a week before the scheduled retreat.

So, I sent an email to the person I had been speaking to regarding previous changes that I would not be going. I had 3 additional people contact me trying to convince me otherwise.

Something that I would think should be confidential between myself and the person I cancelled with evidently it was not.

As I did not attend the retreat, I sent numerous emails asking if I could get back some of my money. As I wrote in one of my emails this is very obviously a business and I understood them keeping a portion of what I paid BUT to keep the full amount of $6,422.08 is completely unethical.

For a company trying to promote you to hit your fullest potential and to craft the life of your dreams but take away hard earned money and not even providing any services is far beyond ridiculous.

Im leaving this review, just as a buyer beware. It is a lot of money and they do not care if you attend or not whatever development course you decide to take.

I took 3 of the courses, at a time in my life when I had nothing and was very vulnerable. I had to borrow so much money that honestly I was completely unable to pay back even to this day.

Yes they have some valuable Content but you can find it in any self help book. The staff are just as brainwashed as the volunteers. They all truly believe that you must buy in 100%. I had major health issues come up during these events and was told I couldn't miss any or I wouldn't get a refund.

That I'd have to retake the entire course at a later date. I ended up in hospital with a mental health issue and also had some major infections during the 90 day course that I basically had to ignore to keep going. I was constantly being pushed into things and when I tried to drop out people showed up at my house and wouldn't stop until I agreed to come back. No one ever listened to me or what I truly wanted.

If I said I couldn't afford something that wasn't good enough. They'd say I was making a choice. And that I'd never reach my goals if I didn't do everything I was told and take all the courses they offered. All the toxic people I met and all the strange things I witnessed.

I could write a book. But honestly I have to thank PSI Seminars. Because now I know my own truth and no one is ever going to treat me like that ever again.

Please if you're being coerced into taking any of these don't do it. Your friend or family member is being pushed to get others to join.

And it's not their fault. They'll be defensive because they think they're seeing value. And maybe they have. But it is not worth the emotional and financial damage, and detriment to your mental health over time.

No one is taking the time to warn people because they're "not ready" or "don't like looking inward." It's all BS. I've become far more successful since I distanced myself from this toxic establishment.

This company is pure BS! They are not trained professionals and do more harm than good!

I lost everything! My job, car, home and not to mention the person I loved the most on this entire earth. *** you PSI! I hate you Jessie getting me involved, and for standing in everyone else's corner, and watch the person you apparently love the most struggle.

My fault for loving a skank! I truly hate you and PSI seminars!
