has written an informative essay which can be read here.
Some articles about LGATS here. The two earliest LGATS was est (known today as Landmark Education). All other LGATs incorporate some features of est/Landmark. an Lifespring wss one of the first of the derivative LGATS.

In describing how he or she was adversely affected by the training, the author ('Noo'wrote something that sums up why Cult Education Institute exists and why CEI provides this message board free of charge.
Large Group Awareness Trainings are not a good intentioned project that has gone bad over the years. All of them are based on a business model. Participants
are told to distrust their analytical thinking while the LGAT owner hires specialists in analytical thinking to do PR, web design, accountancy, logistics and provide advice on investments and legal advice.
Subjects are sign away their right to sue or mediate for damages - which means they get the blame if they feel harmed, while the LGAT takes all the credit if the person feels happy.

If you follow a Hindu guru, you are not safe and secure from LGAT
methods. Some gurus have used this stuff - and not told their disciples.

I...think the reason people don't talk about exactly what happens on the trainings is twofold: one, probably the main one, is because the "graduates" are being pressured to bring new people in, and telling them exactly what they will be confronted with would put most people off.
And two, because a lot of the effect of what happens on the trainings is unique to each person, very deep in their own minds, and isn't actually easily explained by means of the activities that happen on the training.
...That's hard enough to talk about for those have had a good experience, but for those who have a bad experience, there's really nobody to talk to about it other than perhaps someone else who also did one of the trainings and had a bad experience. It's very isolating.
You can't talk to the people who are happy with their experience because they'll use all the training jargon phrases against you, to convince you that you're the one who's responsible for yourself being messed up.
