This post might seem like a copy/paste of an earlier post. It more or less is.
Jane went to Bob for therapy before The Environment, and that continued once the E came into existence. Jane was an interior designer. She started a company. It was successful.
In group, Bob confronted Jane about her supposed flakiness concerning business matters. This apparently was a theme early on, in her private therapy sessions. According to Bob, the re-emergence of Jane's flakiness was self-destructive and something needed to be done about it.
The solution? Bob's wife Tam was installed as President of the company and Jane was demoted. This was despite the fact that Tam had no experience as a designer and no experience in business. In the world according to Bob, the demotion was in Jane's best interest psychologically. It was therapeutic. Jane acquiesced.
Bob was masterful at using the weaknesses of his patients as a way to manipulate them.
This pattern would repeat yet again a couple years later.

I worked at one of their Design firms for a short time. It was the weirdest experience. Half of us were not in the cult but when he would come into the office his cult group employees all knew he was coming in. They would all stand outside of their offices and greet him like their master. They then would all go in his office and who knows what happened in there while us "normal staff" worked. I walked by and saw one girl massaging his shoulders.
