I think they believe that teaching DBT techniques through silly games makes the experience of being in this kind of program less intimidating or 'boring'. I would rather be bored than be made to play these stupid games.
An example of one game we played involved getting into groups, and stacking Styrofoam cups into pyramids by grabbing onto them using rubber bands.
I can't explain it properly, but it was all 'metaphorical' for something or other.
It's the Linden Oaks program. They are located in both Naperville and Mokena Illinois. I can't find any websites that describe the program in any detail.
Thank you for all your input as far this Jeffrey gentleman. I will probably never know what to make of him, and what he really wanted and why. I am currently of the opinion that he made the pornographer up. Again, I can't come up with a satisfactory idea of why. It's the kind of thing a compulsive liar would come up with for no apparent reason.
