ASR Alumni Interview
Ursus:
Too bad for Ashley. A few years is really not enough time to fully realize what just happened to you.

It took me years to be able to disavow my CEDU brainwashing. I could not face up to it, but I always felt sick inside. I knew there was a disconnect from my outward acceptance of it to the reality. I have spoken to so many people from CEDU and other programs who felt the same way. It is hard to go through the emotional trauma of a program only to reject it later. You want so badly to believe there was some good born out of this intensive, intrusive experience. When reality hits, it hits cold and hard.
