      The sexual assault… Didn’t slow down her alcohol consumption??

      No shit? What is the point you’re trying to make?

      Extreme behaviours such as exhibitionism and a very high concern with one’s public image are actually quite consistent with not growing up in a good and well-balanced environment.

      Well balanced people aren’t overly concerned with being seen as stylish and heaving fun all the time, unless they’re in a profession that requires managing the image one projects to the outside world (influencer, performing artist).

      If she didn’t want to be abused why did she ever have fun in her life before or after the abuse? Mixed signals.

      You moron.

      Sorry… you think abused people never want to have fun again for the rest of their lives?

      Well no fucking shit. Clubbing is often an escapist behavior. People with severe trauma often find themselves engaging in risky behavior with drugs, alcohol, sex, etc. Anything to distract them and help them hide from the pain. Clubbing was just the means her background, personality, and wealth led her to, but it’s no different from a meth orgy in a trailer park when we’re talking about its psychological root cause

      Also because these types of programs just categorically don’t work. Some of the techniques can help consenting adults, but in young people and people there against their will it just creates trauma

      A lot of the people who come out of these schools are physical and emotional trainwrecks who immediately double-down on destructive behaviors as a form of anxiety relief.

      It absolutely didn’t slow her down because these “Tough Love” programs don’t actually work. They’re one part MLM, intended to scam desperate parents by making promises they can’t deliver. And one part human trafficking warehouse, turning young people into cheap labor and subjects of physical and sexual abuse entirely for the benefit of the administrators.

      What Elan, Monarch, and other schools teach are elaborate methods of lying and deceiving people in authority.

        How is destructive behavior a form of anxiety relief?

        I’m not denying it, I’d actually like to know more about the specifics (and couldn’t find any specifics online).

          Addiction is an example, the thing that makes you feel good in the short term, is the same thing that mess you up in the long term, and the only thing that makes the thing bearable is more of the thing, completing a fucking horrible cycle.

          Depressants reduce anxiety.

      Is this Lemmy’s most despised post?

      It obviously didn’t slow down her clubbing.
