CEDU lifeboat

<< < (4/7) > >>

Samara:
They will assign for maximum cruelty. One of the ones they enjoyed assigning is a bathing suit-beauty role for someone dealing with weight issues.

Inculcated:
Oh, that’s just messed up. Were these always stock characters that they assigned? If so, about how many were there and what were they?

I ask because the melodrama and psychodramas that occurred in Daytop were more subtle than what seems to have been at play in these workshops—in that the role playing played out differently (more like confront this scenerio as if you were ______ and of course scream and cry) and the costumery was reserved for LEs and the like. This was typically restricted to signs and props denoting condemnations of being something along the lines of toxic, baby, stupid etc. I do remember one group where we played what’s described above as the lifeboat thing, but I don’t remember it as a reoccurring element or an aspect of ascending from one tier to another.

How many workshops were there?

Samara:
I think staff could devise whatever ones they wanted. Whatever hurts the most. But many were replayed. People don't like to talk about it, and you are sworn to secrecy. Some got lucky and had a role that didn't humiliate them as much as others.  That's ok - they'd get their dish served up at other points during the 5 or 7 day summit.

Inculcated:
5-7 DAYS?  :eek:

Anne Bonney:
And this is the kind of shit that passes for "therapy", even today inside programs.   ::)  ::puke::
