When it comes to neuroplasticity and change, all it takes is time. If you spend more in the shoes of those flagged for moderation than their opposites, maybe its inevitable that you attain a form of Stockholm syndrome.
It's a bit cultlike. Also add isolation from family/friends, and tight control of what you can and can't do, and having no trusted person (therapist there works for the comapny).
It doesn't surprise me that it can lead to similar outcomes, as being in a cult.
