Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > The Troubled Teen Industry
What about "Carlbrook School"?
Anonymous:
Validation is so hugely important when seeking counsel for anything especially trauma. More so when hurt has been inflicted by and exacerbated by those who had been guised in the role of therapeutic practitioners. I’m very glad you have found that.
Che Gookin:
Hopefully with Validation comes peace of mind. Good luck and god bless.

--- Quote from: "Mr. Paperclip" ---I apologize for the double post. I wasn't planning on sharing this with the forum, but hey why not! When I got home from Carlbrook, I didn't have any therapy for awhile. About five months later, I went back to a psychiatrist. This psychiatrist specifically was the man that reccomended Carlbrook and the woods to my guardian after only knowing stuff that my guardian told him. Well, he actually apologized to me. He told me that his advice was wrong and that it was definetly a horrible choice to send me into intense therapy, especially after never having had any therapy what's so ever before hand. At this point, I told him that I've been having nightmares of being at carlbrook every night since I got home. He reccomended me another therapist to see. At that point, I was already over 18 so I am doing this on my own free will. He told me that I have gone through a trauma that needs to be worked out.
"So I have to have therapy because of therapy?"
"Yes."
Apparently, when I was away, a lot of the things that were thrown at me, especially during my animus and even teneo were undeserved. My original thoughts when I was going through treatment at carlbrook was that this cannot be right. But under the circumstances of environmental manipulation, I coerced. I was put into suspension for not agreeing with carlbrook, and low in behold, I was right. When i walked out of my new therapist's office for the first time, we ended on him saying to me,
"You were punished for being depressed. You were treated like a criminal because you faced repetitive traumas in your life. They wouldn't let you grieve properly and because of this, I think you are right when you said you felt like you lost a connection with your dad while you were there. I'm not going to pressure you and I definetley will not punish you. There is no standard treatment for therapy so I will not make any attempt to treat you similarly to any of my other patients. I'm just thankful this experience has not scarred you enough to keep you away from therapy all together."

Please write down all the details of your imprisonment at Carlbrook - CEDU - Synanon.
It is important you do so before you being to forget them. They are vital if you ever wish to take legal action against Carlbrook, criminal or civil, and simply to create a record of the atrocities that go on at the abusive cult.
If you choose to do so, you can also provide your witness account to a group like heal, isac, or cafety.
They will post it on their site, using it to provide a voice for the teens carlbrook destroyed, and, perhaps, to initiate actions to punish its evildoers, and prevent them from continuing to victimize with impunity.

--- Quote from: "Gest" ---I went to carlbrook August 19, 2005-March 1, 2006
a little backround:
I am a former cocaine, xtc, painkiller, benzo, meth addict who was way out of line at home and stealing and arrested for assault and battery. I asked my parents for help and this is what they did:
1. sent me to a residentail treatment center for one month (Hazelden in Minisota)
2. dirrectly sent me to a wilderness program for 7weeks (second nature Utah)
3. dirrectly sent to Carlbrook school in Virginia
My experience at Carlbrook was double sided.
The acedemics there were great and i enjoyed the classes very much.
The "therapy" however was terrible. The owner of the school is border line insane.
i would describe my experience there as abusive un unhelpful.
I would go into specifics but I would go on for pages.
If anyone has any specific questions regarding Carlbrook School feel free to ask me: DImitriBeshkov@hotmail.com

If you check my prior posts on this forum (I've been posting since Page 5), you can get a better idea of my background. I apologize for not wanting to repeat it all. I also have already recorded all that I need to. I don't plan on contacting any of those organizations at this time however. Right now, I'm too busy with school work and other stuff, but I'm still intending to take further action in the future. I do plan of course to make sure I engage civilly when the time comes. I’ve learned over time that grouping myself with an organization will diminish my argument or at least limit me in some way or another. These troubled teen institutions already treat everyone the same, giving a generic course of action for individual’s therapy. This is one of my key points which can prove the inefficiency of this industry. It seems silly therefore to group myself with others just like the oppressors did once before.
