Lost Resort

I loved every moment of this show. Perhaps some of the negative reviews have too do with not understanding where the healers were coming from. As a Hypnotist and Reiki Master, I did understand and felt that the show was well done and kept my interest 100% of the time. I truly hope that the powers that be will give this show another chance. It is a winner!

Reviewer 'BigTrain45' is completely missing the big picture, I'm guessing because it doesn't agree with his or her antiquated 'Christian' views of the world, but this isn't 'New Age' stuff at all. This healing work is based on Reiki and other alternative healing modalities that pre-date Christianity by thousands of years. Instead of going to church and pretending everything is okay, they're coached to stop running from their problems and address them.

But what I like about the show is it doesn't feature the heavily scripted -- and thus highly predictable -- stock characters, typically wanna-be actors looking for their 15 minutes of fame.

For the most part -- with perhaps the exception of the Christine (with eyelashes about four times the size she should wear) and her gossipy mother Robin -- these folks seem genuinely just along for the ride, to see how it might actually help them. And some, especially the lutheran minister, seem to be finding that benefit.

I also like how there's no scripted/forced love triangles, none of the crap you get from Big Brother and other shows that are even less watchable.

Give it a try, you might just like it.

As a healer myself, I had high hopes for this show, particularly that it might illuminate various alternative and holistic healing modalities, bringing them more into the mainstream. Sadly, it feels like it has done just the opposite - highlighting new age cliches, unskillful facilitators, sloppy process, all in an unstable and emotionally unsafe container. It's TV, so I'm not sure what the participants were told ahead of time, but my heart cringes when I see them pushed to open their wounds and bare their souls in such a setting. I imagine many of them may need more healing after participating in this show. Superficial at best, irresponsible at worst. Sadly, a disservice to other healers who work in this realm.

I understand the need for people to have periods of self healing in their life but I can't watch the constant wailing and screaming and crying that goes on. I am not sure who wants to watch this. I thought it would be a bit more helpful to the viewer but it's just watching people break down and I can only eye roll so long before I had to turn the channel

Will never understand the need to steal aspects of other cultures for craps like this show and call it alternative therapy. Smdh
