Thank you, Shannon, and I'll hold to that.
Actually, nothing bad happened at all. I felt a very focused and a little amped up. At the same time, and this may be the result of the aspects of the program directed to mind balancing and assimilating new beliefs, I felt a boost in something like confidence, but, honestly, more like faith that things would turn out for the best, whatever the result.
Totally, totally unrelated family stuff hit me mid-week, and I was nervous that I might be prone to overreacting (via some kind of disinhibiting effect). Quite the contrary, I kept my cool throughout unpleasantness that continue even now.
My cautionary advice might not have any relevance for other people. Having seen some serious, seriously un-fun stuff in life, the fight/flight response has kicked in at times of acute stress and overridden the genuine, well-intentioned person everyone knows (never to any serious consequence, apart from my own embarrassment*). So, I think it's worthy of note that a week into it, the experience has been positive in spite of having some serious stuff unrelated dropped on me.
*On the flip side, the one thing in common among the many Ms. Wrongs of days gone by has been that they love to flip the switch, seemed to be a big turn on to them (guess I was okay with that in times past too
).
