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.
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.
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).
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
It obviously didn’t slow down her clubbing.
Maybe you should read up on coping mechanisms. And maybe empathy in general.
Abuse doesn’t usually fix anything.
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?
The sexual assault… Didn’t slow down her alcohol consumption??
No shit? What is the point you’re trying to make?

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).
Depressants reduce anxiety.
If you believe you are a bad person, then being “bad” is self affirming.

Ah okay, I understood it as the destructiveness itself relieving the anxiety. Thanks!

I guarantee you there are worse takes if you look for them. This is the internet. There is no bottom.
I’m sure someone is willing to show you their bottom!
Be careful what you say. Some moron is going to try to show us there is a bottom.
I… I am the bottom!
Wow man….
