Those training were intense even back when I was in "the church." Ohio is right. They should carry a warning label. But then, so should the LCs. On the other hand, persons susceptible to psychosis breakdown under stresses that others can manage. Dave, you probably can remember instances where new hires had psychotic breaks when the state agency we worked for sent them to Tallahassee for new employee orientation. One of them was hospitalized in a mental health center where I was on the treatment team.
