For me, I felt like a zombie all the time, like I almost felt tired all the time, which made it really hard, like because you have to stay awake in group and you're in group All Day, Every Single Day.
Imagine being trapped in a place where your medical needs are ignored, and you're over-medicated to the point of feeling like a zombie. This is the reality for one survivor of Lifeline, a spin-off of the notorious Straight Incorporated program. In this episode, the survivor recounts her harrowing experience within Lifeline, including the infamous 'honesty marathon' and the constant setbacks she faced.
One chilling moment she shares is the threat she received when she tried to leave after turning 18 – a threat that she'd never see her family again if she walked out. This pressure coerced her into staying, even as she struggled with the program's harsh methods. The episode doesn't just stop at her time in Lifeline; it follows her journey after leaving, detailing the struggles she faced in adjusting to life outside the program.
Her story is a poignant reminder of the lasting impact such rehabilitation programs can have on individuals. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the real-life consequences of abusive rehabilitation tactics.
