Educator abuse- "a new sense of self"
Meh:
Thanks Hops for your interest. Ultimately though I'm set in my mind that no instructor can put me through this, there is NO JUSTIFICATION. I'm just so freaked out that this is happening to other people too. Nobody is the boss of me. No teacher will reform my identity. Fuck him.
Totalitarianism
Meh:
I don't understand what is happening in this class.
One of the assignments is called "Hostage Negotiation Work" --- WHY?
Why must I be the victim of someone else's political ideas. This stuff is so crazy.
sKePTiKal:
I'd also like to know how the course is "advertised" Mouse. Professional curiosity.
I could try to explain some of this "content"; Hops can probably explain more than I can - but I think maybe the best thing for you to do is simply honor your own feelings here - the anxiety, revulsion, and downright fear are there to protect you and dropping the class/adding another will give you immediate relief.
Meh:
it's just one of a handful of rhetoric classes
you are right Skep, you named the emotions pretty well, I wasn't even naming my own emotions but rather feeling freaked, I know it seems like I am going overboard but I practically feel some kind of horror, I hope he isn't some stalker I kind of outed him just a tiny BIG bit, I couldn't help it it's what I do, I was dumb I should have walked away from it, I think there was an intentional attempt at voice suppression too, WHAT they are doing is studied, they are studying abuse
I'm not reacting normally. I mean nothing is normal now but now it's extra extra not normal.
I think I'm just realizing how deeply bad some people are, really mental, really bad and now I'm pretty scared
Yep I need to get the heck out of the class and forget about it
Meh:
But if an instructor is an abuser and is trying to implement this stuff. This stuff shouldn't be acted out by people who have no background in psychology. This is so freaking mental. I just don't agree with this whole process they were using as the premise for this class. I think this is pretty controversial. I feel traumatized somehow by the way the instructor is trying to do this stuff.
What if I am traumatized by my curriculum... and I already told my advisor I was having mental health issues. Why is this planted into English classes.

I don't think what they are doing is "enlightened" even when I look at all the various research.
