Dr. James Paul Leone, CGP, PHD

I agree about Leone. There was barely any help from him. We got abused and 'programmed' by him as you said, 5 years for you and 1 1/2 years in a concentrated dose for me. Clearly it made things worse. I’ve seen some nuts, as you know. He’s the one where as more time passes, I’m confident it changed my trajectory and left me in a different position. The question is what to do now? I’ve done a bunch. I still have some ideas. 

He was marketing it as a life changing breakthrough know-how group as well as therapy, but then mostly taught self destructive behavior. Here is how it went like pretty much over and over, he was pretty much like this: "Here is a self destructive behavior, now go on into the world and attempt to do X, come back and report so we can attack you and sympathize with how you are a loser like everyone else in the group. I will then comfort you, and re-inforce another self destructive behavior and psych you up, then watch you fail and blame you. We will form a club of people who do this, obsess about the group and also admire me and give me all their attention. I've been doing this for forty years, I am very good at doing this, so you should come here for a long time and rarely if ever skip a week, or the group won't work, and it would make you a bad person, you also can't quit without a two month warning, and then the whole group has to be 'prepared and go around and say good bye to you', so you should hesitate to do quit naturally, you will miss out and not achieve what you want in life if you quit too early, I will manipulate the group to discourage you from leaving, and then you can't really come back easily, so if you already have trouble planning in general, you will probably stay here for years, and you will think you will need it, and be under constant brain washing psychological pressure of me manipulating the group, so you won't be able to clear your head and think for yourself by taking a few weeks off and seeing if you are better when not going to the group. This is the only system I offer, if you don't like it, don't criticize me. By the way, what is wrong with you? I am immune to criticism and just let it bounce off and only discuss what is wrong with you, because.. this is therapy. Oh, if I do something wrong, it's not me, it's you having a problem with therapy. Let's ignore what I did wrong and discuss why you have a problem with therapy, something else, or what is wrong with you. I found something wrong with you, so I could not be wrong, it must all be you and in your head. Oh, by the way, you are pathetic and I am sadistic, and that makes me a brilliant self aware real therapist."
