The Cause of Suppression Success

One of the booklets used by the Scientology Volunteer Ministers helps people straighten out oppressive relationships. For many people who aren't doing well, the real problem they are running into is that they have someone at work, at school, a member of the family, etc. who is working against them, trying to put them down, is constantly critical of them, and so on.

It's not uncommon for the person doing this to say "it's for their own good."

Sometimes their friends even tell them they should get out of the relationship, quit the job etc. yet, not understanding what is going on, they don't feel theycan, or feel it's their own fault - that if they just tried harder and stopped making mistakes it would all sort out. But it never does.

One of the breakthroughs L. Ron Hubbard made was to discover that there is an anti-social personality, that they have certain traits and the effect such people have on the lives of those they are close to.

Here is a success story from someone who used the information in this booklet to sort out her life.

“My stepmother had been an alcoholic and had been under treatment by psychologists and psychiatrists for years, trying to handle this condition. Their ’handling’ was to give her drugs and tell her what to think and do in life. As a result, her outlook on life had been bleak and very negative. I finally discovered the technology about suppressive persons. I found out who had been suppressing my stepmother and I learned how to help her. Today she doesn’t drink at all, is completely cheerful—we get along great! After all these years, I am extremely proud that we have a happy future.” T.G.
