Maverick reveals a lot of things about the user. It turns out that I'm a lazy slug.
It is also possible that that was your subconscious response to what it was trying to accomplish.
Possible, but the fact is that I'm extremely lazy at the core. Anxiety has been a huge motivating force throughout my life, extending back to childhood. Where I've excelled, it has been because I feared failure. Of course, there's oppositional anxiety, which tended to prevent me me from going outside my comfort zone. To a large degree, Maverick handled both of those.
The obvious positive is that many of the anxiety chains that held me in place have been broken. The obvious negative is that there's no motivating force other than conscious willpower. The latter is why I'll probably never run another OF or EHPRA program again.
In my experience, Maverick could be appropriately named something like "As You Are." It's less sexy than "Maverick", but it's what I experienced. That's not to say that there's anything wrong with Maverick as a sub. It does what it does and it does it well. You warned from the very beginning that a person should be at a certain place before running it. If you're a spitfire, there's no telling how far Maverick can take you. If you're lazy (like me) it's probably not the best sub to run.
With all that being said, I got bored with Maverick, so there's no doubt that that affected execution, particularly toward the end.
After a good AM7 run and possibly a good UMSvNext run, I might run Maverick again. I have a feeling that alternating these three could be effective at leveraging their strengths against one another.
