Educator abuse- "a new sense of self"

<< < (9/13) > >>

Meh:
The school is mandating that students do these classes and after much reflection I know that the classes are modeled after Psychodynamic psychotherapy. The instructors aren't psychologists though, and it's so very messed up.

"reveal the unconscious content of a client's psyche"

WOW.  These aren't normal classes like I have saying repetitively over and over. This is almost like conversion therapy for gays.

Book: Writing As Punishment In schools, Courts & Everyday Life

"Another set of less thoroughly examined beliefs about writing are encrypted in and reproduced through the use of writing as punishment, and these are the beliefs that writing is a viable tool for disciplining, controlling, brainwashing, shaming, demeaning, subjugating, and humiliating others." p 11-12

"Encrypted in the particularities of these schoolhouse traditions are core beliefs about writing as a potentially dark, magical rhetorical art capable of punishing, controlling, and transforming writers." p 13

"DARVO is an acronym for "deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender". It is a common manipulation strategy of psychological abusers"

It's that gaslighting shit. Excuse my language. Got to call it when I see it. Big stinky fuming cow piles of it.

I'm reading:

JOURNAL ARTICLE
THE SEMANTICS OF THOUGHT REFORM
William F. O'Neill and George D. Demos

This article explains EVERYTHING I have been witnessing. I feel so grateful that this article was written it's from 1977! So nothing new under the sun here.

Well, then - happy reading! Maybe you'll be able to effect some change, in how "fashionable" these theories are.Best of luck. I've done enough of that in my time. The stuff makes me feel like I need a long shower and brain bleach.

As for language - blush - I'm afraid my normal speech resembles a longshoreman's or a lifelong sailor. LOLOL.

Meh:
a local parent spoke out about "education reform" plans in our county. I'm trying to get in touch with him. I guess I will see if he contacts me. I'm just tired.
