Not sure how the cult comment is useful. objectively speaking, if we use fMRI and physiological diagnostics, there's a quantitative difference between a negative emotional response and a rational one. Everyone prospers from the rational state amidst any problem situation
It's useful because I don't think people function well in cults, and as a peculiarly hot property for would-be cultists I think it's useful to notice when someone else is trying to get read/write access to your source code

Interesting. I agree with your initial comment; however, regarding the source code (great analogy) I view it essential for people to understand that it is rewritable. Whether or not they're interested in rewriting it (to their benefit) is their choice

People consent on one level or another, but it's **usually** bc they've come to believe they're somehow "bad" wrt negative emotions, this is often because they've become ashamed of their volatility; but they're volatile, at least in part, bc they're not happy with the status quo

Self-development of all sorts lends itself very easily to slipping into cult dynamics. Cult-like influence is something that should be common knowledge among personal development coaches, but mysteriously isn't. Which is weird, because the whole point is empowerment.
