Who can guess which program this author is talking about?


--- Quote ---During this time, everyone from "the program" is constantly telling you to hurry up and get to the [proper name obliqued] seminars. Another form of misrepresentation, now the blinders are in place. The seminars are basically everything I have been through as businessman with the exception that they "Act" like they are therapists. The seminar is to make you aware of why you messed your child up. Then they attempt to change your lifestyle forever. I personally think they change your lifestyle by soaking your bank account. I think humiliating people in front of others is simply not appropriate. Making people cry, telling them they should blame their parents for the way they have been raised, in your face until you disclose some deep dark secret. The worst part was when a facilitor (who is not a qualified therapist) tells the parents to go to Hawaii (or any trip) and send your child a postcard, "Having a great time without you." Now that was an eye opener.

Not only does this sound EXACTLY like Hyde, I could tell you some of the exact same stories.  Whoever wrote this is right "on point" about what goes on in seminars.  I am a former Hyde parent and they tried to convince me that my parents failed me, and now I am failing my child.  This observation by a facilitator who was a former drug addict and alchoholic was astounding!  Unfortunately this is the norm at Hyde.  Why would anyone want their child "learning" about life through the eyes of recovering addicts?  Have brains parents, if you have to send your kid to a boarding school, put them in one with professional, loving teachers who will set a good example, not expose them to the horendous things at Hyde.

Well that goes all the way back to the original Synanon ethos. (which, btw, was dreamt up by a former drunk who went on to serve prison time for conspiracy to murder a lawyer who was helping a young woman escape his cult) It never was a very good idea. Maybe there's some value to the idea under entirely voluntary circumstances in balance w/ regular contact and involvement in the real world. But definitely not behind closed doors or under coercion of any kind.

Anyway, the above quote was not about Hyde. Any other guesses? Anybody?
Men seldom, or rather never for a length of time, and deliberately, rebel against anything that does not deserve rebelling against.

It's WWASP. Someone posted it elsewhere so I cheated.

I also remember that just before I ran that some
Senior told me that my mom was at Club Med so
they could do whatever they wanted.
It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life, that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.
