Behaviour Modification huh? This video brings back so many horrible memories. I was in a third world rehab center with the exact methods mentioned in the video and in this article. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/fican/paradise-cove-t15.html I thought the reason that institution was run the way it was, was because I wasn't in a first world country. The experience I endured had a strong traumatic effect on me. They brainwash your parents, they blackmail you with punishment so you don't talk to your parents about what really goes on. Severe emotional, mental, and physical torture. I was once made to sit in front of a wall for almost an entire week, sitting upright on an empty can of jalapeños, handcuffed, deprived of my sleep with endless buckets of water, slaps, kicks, punches. Deprived of food and water. This one occassion of many. It was my punishment for attempting to reach out to my dad through the internet. My mom's side of the family, who where the ones to put me in that horrible place, quit paying, so i was basically held captive. In a fit of desperation i managed to escape and find safety, eventually found my way home.... Behavioural Modification... These institutions are falsely labled as Rehab Centers, and they convince many families to abandon unwanted or troubled family members there for treatment. I still fantasize about burning that shady place down to this day.

God gave me the opportunity to escape, he guided me back home to my family, who by the way were clueless about what had happened to me. I was an ignorant atheist before the event, and I'm grateful for the experience as it opened my eyes. Apart from the ptsd, I arrived home with a very spiritual perspective. I really want to believe the whole experience was a manifestation of God. Happy New Year Carmencita :)
