GRIEF CHARGE
An outburst of tears, that may continue for a considerable time, in a session, after which the preclear feels greatly relieved. This is occasioned by the discharge of grief or painful emotion from a secondary.
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.
Usage
During an auditing session, a preclear may experience a grief charge — an outburst of tears that continues for a considerable time — as painful emotion from a secondary is discharged. After the grief charge releases, the preclear feels greatly relieved.
Why It Matters
The discharge of grief charge frees the preclear from stored painful emotion that has been affecting them. This release is a recognized and expected part of auditing that leads to measurable improvement in the preclear's condition.
