However it appears journals can only to be used to keep a “moral inventory” of sexual temptations. A participant is to be honest, authentic and real but… family visits are to be glossed over and superficial? Many people use journaling as a method of self reflection and thought. No discussing therapeutic issues at home.
Several selected rules read:Ībsolutely no journaling or keeping a diary outside of the MI* process unless directed or approved by staff. Program rules of genuine concern to me is a clear double standard when it came to encouraging honesty, self-examination and reflection in patients. There are of course several comical rules forbidding any clothing from Abercrombie and Fitch and dining at places like TGI Fridays (because there is a bar attached to the restaurant). On his blog Zach posts program rules given to parents that aren’t supposed to be seen by patients.
How do we know all this? Zach has been writing about it on his blog found here on. A 16 year old named Zach in Bartlett, Tennessee recently came out to his parents who reacted by announcing they are sending him to an ex-gay live-in program called Love In Action, the same cult like program Peterson Toscano survived.
