Cayo, Yes this does sound familiar:
Our daughter was only at Whitmore 2 months.
After only 5 weeks, we receive her first PPI-a self-report the Sudweeks have the kids write.
Our daugher, age 12 repeatedly self-reported that she FELT GUILTY for insignificant things:
-not doing her chores correctly
-not talking right in GROUP
-not pulling her weight
-not doing her journal right
-not listening to subliminals right
-not getting the program right
-not being able to please Cheryl
on and on and on......
She reported: "I feel so guilty, I just lay in my room and cry so hard."
Our reaction was: What does a 12 year old have to feel GUILTY ABOUT? We sent an email to Mark Sudweeks that we were coming to withdraw our daughter immediately.
We agreed to give Whitmore a couple of weeks to see if our daughter "could adjust and do better," but the abuse allegations arose--and we withdrew her immediately!
Yes--many things you talk about here sound familiar.
