"The emotional development of children is intimately connected to the safety and nurturance provided by their enviornment"

Bessel Van Der Kolk - Harvard Medical School psychiatrist

We were programmed and taught we were in a safe enviornment and airing all of our dirty laundry as well as screaming about everyone elses dirty laundry was the norm.  We were programmed to believe that being intimate with the opposite sex was wrong, and we were programmed to believe we had "special" tools nobody else had unless they were a Cedu/RMA graduate.  This list could go on and on and on.  The point is is that the program we went through was WRONG and DAMAGING, and 20 years later many of us are dysfunctional and suffering from P.T.S.D. for starters.  

The above quote was the chapter heading for a book I just finished.  I read it and it was like an enormous slap in the face.  It made my personal "dysfunctional aspects" make sense as well as ALL of my dysfunctional aspects as a result of my childhood based on what I was taught by RMA, Cedu, and my parents...

Somehow that quote helped me a little after I re-read it a few times and soothed me to a degree and reinforced that not everything was MY fault...  I posted today because I hope this may bring a little comfort - no matter how minute - to the rest of us struggling through life.

Indeed this quote will be brought up when I see my shrink tomorrow.

Have a good day, everyone.

Web forum hosting / Uploading mp3 & wav files
« on: November 02, 2006, 11:50:38 AM »
Is there a way to upload mp3 or wav files?  These would be songs that were played in propheets and workshops at RMA/Cedu...

Thanks.

Before I went to RMA I attended  another high school (public) for my freshman year.  In November I am attending that 20th reunion for my class.  People remember/will remember me  because my mother died  right before I left that school.  I suppose it will come up at the reunion, and I'm stressing some about it...

What blows me away is that I am considerably less stressed about flying 3,000 miles and seeing those kids I grew up with before RMA at that reunion, than I am considering what a possible RMA 20th reunion would be like.

Does anyone feel the same who have 2+ 20th reunions to go to this year?

Does anyone wonder where our 20th reunion is besides a brief mention on classmates.com?

Is there a 20th reunion for Cedu?

Here's my edit:  I feel DIFFERENT than everyone at my old high school attending the reunion.  I feel DIFFERENT because I went to RMA and they didn't.

CEDU / Brown Schools and derivatives / clones / Missing from Cedu

This is old news, but does anyone know  what ever happened to Daniel Yuen from Cedu?  Apparently he split from Cedu telling staff he was going to go get cigarettes and disappeared.  I have read in the newspapers there have been "sightings" of him but that's it...
