Why Are You at Hyde?
Ursus:
--- Quote from: ""Emil"" ---The whole seminar thing was so foreign to my mother who was half Yankee and half Irish. You never talked family out side the family. the thing in retrospect that seems so screwed up about the process was that after some nasty nasty family secrets came out in a seminar, Joe screamed at us and walked out of the room. Nothing was ever said about it on the part of the Hyde staff ( can't question Joe !) and I never received any sort of counciling about our secret.
My Mom did have some discussions in private with Joe. My mother was a very attractive woman with long black hair, which seemed to be Joe's predilection (dream weaver not withstanding) and widowed Despite the fact that Joe was still living with Blanche at the time there were some entreaties on Joe's part that were not IMHO entirely appropriate My Mom to her credit and my undying gratitude told Joe, politely where to go. I my Mother's estimation even though my Dad was a cruel drunk at the end of this life, Joe was not half the man that my father was. My dad was actually a brilliant man with a fantastic gift for language. So my Mom found Joe to be a dullard in comparison.
Sorry if the last paragraph was a bit to revelatory and seminarish but I feel better and I think my Mom would want it put out there

Good for you, and good for your mom, Emil! What a cretin that Joe Gauld is! It just seems like -- if you dig deep enough -- many of these personality cult leaders end up preying sexually on their constituents. It is such an unbelievable total abuse of power. Kudos to your mom for having the intelligence and backbone to stand up to this slimebag.

--- Quote from: ""Mike"" ---I know of one Hyde graduate who relapsed into self-destructive behavior following graduation day when the artificial Hyde decision-making apparatus --- the "scaffolding" --- was removed. Did Hyde disavow responsibility for her, saying that she simply failed to internalize Hyde values? How cynical if so! Is it any surprise that a student denied an opportunity to think and decide for herself for five years should fail in an independent setting? At least Hyde dedicated a memorial stone to her.

It does feel good finally to be able to say what we really wanted to say in those seminars. We were supposed to be sharing secrets, but given the consequences of criticizing Hyde, we were concealing more than we were revealing. I'm starting to realize that for Hyde's discontents, those seminars were self-defeating and probably affirmed our identity!

What happened to Michelle? She sure was a spark and a half! :D
(I've been more or less completely out of the loop due to working out my own trauma from Hyde...)

Totally different ballgame. Revelations, such as there are, are voluntary and certainly not followed by judgemental histrionics! Actually, kind of therapeutic for all of us, ...I hope! :lol:
