No way in God's green Earth would Art ever recomend a shrink. Don't you remember the tirades against professional psychiatry?
Here's the thing, though. The Seed would take any teenager. Some Seedlings, especially younger brothers and sisters, landed on front row just for posession of a druggie attitude. Many kids landed up there because a Seedling, who had made their newcomer confession, had been a friend (so, naturally, that kid must be a druggie too seeing as how druggieness is such a highly contagious disease effecting 90% of all youth, right?)
So the typical Seed intake population was pretty representative of the broader population of kids. However, Seedlings and Straightlings have a rate of suicide attempts and success far and away higher than the general population. Every single suicide attempt I've ever heard of among people I've known personally was a Program client. Not one of my olddruggiefriends or their friends who had not gone through the Program has tried to kill themselves that I ever heard about.
Dude, I'm sorry you were so despondent that you tried to slit your wrists w/ a safety razor. And I can just imagine the come down rap afterward and how therapeutic that was for you. But I do not believe that you were driven to this kind of desperation by realizing the truth about yourself. I think the Programming got to ya. It happened to a lot of kids.
Know what Bobby DuPont used to tell reporters about it? He said that suicidal ideation was part of withdrawal from marijuana. What a fucking load! No, suicidal ideation is a possible consequence of isolation, sleep management, severe stress and extreme humiliation. Bobby DuPont knew this when he gave Art $1 Million+ to expand The Seed.
