Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out what "that" is all about and it was way back in 1996 when I did my partial hospitalization ... I'm sure there's supposed to be something "therapeutic" about it ... But it didn't feel very therapeutic or helpful at the time ... That's for sure ...
Would love to tell you to confront them about how it's making you feel and to process those feelings ... But that's not how I handled it ... Looking back I kinda wish I had, but it's rather difficult to focus on the fire when you're sitting smack dab in the middle of it and all you really want to do is get the @#$%! out of it ...
Hoping it all works out okay for you in the long run ... It did for me, and I'm glad I stayed and finished the program even though I didn't particularly enjoy this aspect of the "treatment" ...
Sincerely,
