Yes, Cheryl Sudweeks is Mormon.
The GROUP Sessions were run by Cheryl--who is not a licensed therapist, she only has a high school dipolma.
GROUP: a kid would be "the subject" and everyone would come down on them, yellin and screaming.
Some of the groups would go on for hours.
The kids would have to "confess" to their past prior bad acts. Then they would be humiliated and called horrible names, and punished for being so BAD. Many groups would end in physical violence.
Often Cheryl would read from the kids' personal journals as a form of humiliation.
Groups were held at all hours of the day and night.
