Hi!
I am new here and need some information regarding dianetics & its effectiveness in treating mental problems like anxiety, OCD, insomnia, trauma etc. It would really help me to decide whether to go for auditing sessions if you guys could answer the following questions. Feel free to share your all your opinions and experiences with dianetics:
1. Does it really work or is it just a hoax? If it works, are the results permanent?
2. How long does it normally take for a PC to become clear?
3. Do they start with self-analysis before starting the actual auditing sessions? How long do the self-analysis sessions last?
4. Could you just sign-up for auditing sessions as a form of therapy or do they force you to join the church of scientology at some point?
5. From what i have seen, they ask you to re-experience your traumatic memories (engrams) over and over again. Does it make you feel annoyed at some point? Do they have any coping strategies if someone gets emotionally overwhelmed while doing so?
6. They ask for very detailed descriptions of the incidents. What if someone experienced something so drastic earlier in their lives that they just dont feel comfortable explaining the incident in detail? Do they offer any alternative strategies for that?
7. Do they follow any client confidentiality policy in their code of ethics?
8. An auditing session looks quite similar to abreaction therapy in general psychology. What makes it different from classical psychotherapy?
9. What do TRs entail? Are they helpful in terms of improving mental health or are they mostly targeted towards skill development?
I have been suffering from anxiety, OCD, insomnia & fibromyalgia for quite a few years. One of my acquaintances told me about dianetics. Some people have recommeded EFT (Emotional Freedon Technique or tapping). I need to decide between the two and this forum is just what i was looking for to get some valid information. I am pretty much already familiar with dark side of scientology. What i am looking for here is to get an opinion about the benefits & its efficacy in treating mental conditions, if there is any!
Thanks & regards!
