You know, the first time you have sex with somebody should not be a horrible experience, and they taught it that it was and that I didn't take her feelings into account and stuff, and I always thought that was funny.
Ever wondered what it’s like to navigate life after a traumatic experience? In this episode of 'Surviving Straight Inc', we hear from a survivor who recounts their time in Lifeline, a spin-off program of the notorious Straight Incorporated, in Salt Lake City from 2005 to 2007. The survivor, who wishes to remain anonymous, shares candidly about the pressures and bizarre rules they faced, such as having to pass a lie detector test just to graduate.
Dating while in the program was another challenge, leading to setbacks and intense scrutiny. The emotional toll was immense, with honesty often used as a weapon against them. But it's not all dark; there are moments of healing too. The survivor talks about reconnecting with a girlfriend and having a deeply moving conversation with their mom. These moments of human connection offer a glimmer of hope amidst the turmoil.
This episode doesn't just recount personal experiences but also sheds light on the lasting impact of such programs. Lifeline, now known as Lifeline For Youth, is still operational, raising questions about ongoing practices in similar institutions. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the long-term effects of such rehabilitation programs and the resilience of those who survive them.
