198. Chrysalis School Montana: My Troubled Teen Industry Experience

Описание: #198 In this week's solo episode, I am sharing for the first time what my experience in the troubled teen industry was like. I was enrolled Chrysalis School Montana in 2018 while I was struggling with my mental health in high school, unaware that I was a part of a larger system that takes advantage of teens and their parents. In this episode, I look back at my experience in this therapeutic boarding school and discuss:

What therapeutic boarding schools are & why they aren't effective treatment options

Why I attended a therapeutic boarding school & initial red flags that my program was unethical

My experiences with adventure therapy, group/individual therapy, & academics while at Chrysalis

What day-to-day life looks like while attending therapeutic boarding school

The most unethical experiences I faced while attending my program

Coming to terms with my experience after graduating & what that was like

How I realized that my therapeutic boarding school was part of the troubled teen industry

The role of educational consultants in the troubled teen industry

The disturbing lawsuit filed against Chrysalis after I graduated

Other options for teen mental health programs outside of the troubled teen industry

My advice for other troubled teen industry survivors
