There will always be people with a broad intellectual understanding of deep feeling oriented therapy, who will enter intensive experiences, only to find that they didn't truly comprehend what they were getting into. Some will move forward and be profoundly healed. Some will run away. Some will run away and blame the therapist or the therapy. External forces hurt or help us.
External forces move our world and our lives.
We come to see that complex forces within us, far below what we can see, are arranging our passage through life, and indeed much of what happens to us from the so called outside world. Unfortunately, those of us who seek treatment are never fully mature. High speed, high impact therapy, such as a deep feeling oriented intensive, stands a greater chance of getting someone deeply into their pain than a less intensive experience. Where the patient is genuinely ready to break apart, and the decision is as mature as it can be all things considered, a primal intensive is probably the most profound and healing journey available on this earth. There just isn't anything even approaching its healing power.
