@Noteta, getting involved with CoS would be "jumping out of the frying pan into the fire," I.e. only making a bad situation worse. No matter what you think is wrong with you, they'll tell you they can fix it. Their stock phrase is "Scientology can help you with that." But in reality scn is just a scheme to take your money (in the US auditing costs $200/hour) and if you don't have any money (or they've already emptied your bank account), they will get you to join staff or the Sea Org and work for them for long hours and little or no money. (I was on staff for 6 years and most of the time I got paid NOTHING. I survived on low-paying second jobs.)
As for having something wrong with you, we ALL have something wrong with us. We ALL have what scientology calls a "case," but scn is not the way to address it. You will ALWAYS have a case, we all will. You cannot "erase your reactive mind" or become some kind of superbeing. I left scn when I realized that the supposed "clears" I saw around me were no better than anybody else, no better than "wogs" (non-scngsts), except that they had been brainwashed to believe they were superior. (This included me for a while.) Some were nice people, some were not.
My recommendation is that you stay far away from CoS. I don't know what your sessions with your independent auditor are like, but since they seem to be stirring up "past life" hallucinations, it's probably best to stop those.
If you're seeking "enlightenment," there are lots of spiritual practices that you can take up that won't cost a lot of money and that you can even do by yourself. Meditation can be helpful. Almost anything is preferable to scn.
If the "something that's wrong with you" (what scn calls your "case") is really bothering you a lot, some form of psychotherapy might be a good idea. Contrary to scn propaganda, psychiatrists and psychologists are not all evil implanters. (In fact, it's scn that is the implant.) I had 2 1/2 years of psychoanalysis after I got out of scn and found it very helpful. No drugs, no hypnosis, just talking about whatever came into my head. And it was also cheaper than auditing was then (1980's). My therapist charged on a sliding scale.
That's my 2 cents. (My recommendations.)
