My auditing sessions at the LA Center long ago ended in disaster. Forgot what they call it, but if the person's being audited have an intense reaction to some of the questions, the e-meter basically goes haywire and the auditor(s) have to record it as such, with very negative consequences to them - the auditors, for letting it happen. I just left and never returned. http://www.scientology.cc/en_US/about/presentation/auditing.html
