I have no idea - it's taken me a very long time to see that that's an irrational idea - I can't believe these people would support something like that. sounds more like brainwashing to me.
The idea of accepting personal responsibility for the totality of your life... no. That's beyond counter-intuitive, it starts ranging into professionally irresponsible.
Your childhood abuse wasn't your fault, and that which I have endured wasn't mine, either. It's one thing to take responsibility for your actions, words, and thoughts. It's another thing entirely to take responsibility for things you have/had no control over.
That's like having the recent tsunami victims "take responsibility" for losing their homes. There are certain things beyond any one person's control. Being invited to take responsibility for such things... *sighs*
it completely outrages me that your teacher is doing/has done this. i think it's completely within your right to absolutely refuse and to get help otherwise. i heavily support that.

How the Hell can it be your fault that you were sexually abused as a child? *scratches head* o.O

I thought that sounded a little mad - especially since they teach these seminars... that sound rather like brainwashing.
*nods* It's taken me a long time to realise that - but you're right - it's not any of our faults.
Thank you for your thoughts.
