The difference with this workshop and the seminars that the teens are required to attend. I had the freedom to walk out. They don't."
In the trainings (as we called them) we could leave, it just meant that you weren't ready to deal with your problems and you had to keep repeating if over and over until you finished it. And you couldn't move up to higher levels without completing the trainings. We had two individual trainings both three days long.
There was no therapist or any mental health professional, just the owner of the program and girls who had already completed the training.
One of the girls that was there when I was, went through the first training three times because she wouldn't hit her chair with a towel.
