Episode Details

Katie is a graduate student who, like myself, is near the end of a master’s in counseling program.  She has volunteered to come forward and talk with me about some of her experiences in her counseling program (at a different university- not Antioch) and has given me permission to share that conversation with you.  Her experiences are very similar to my own, with indoctrination and propaganda taught alongside evidence-based therapy concepts, and an atmosphere of orthodoxy in which differing opinions are not welcome.   She has a unique background and some excellent insights.  

Katie recommends the following two books:  The Psychology of Totalitarianism by Matias Desmet Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism by Robert Jay Lifton.  She also has two Substack accounts you can follow for more of her perspective: The Kids are Not Alright http://hideyourkids.substack.com/ The Tyranny of Virtue http://yesitsmarxism.substack.com/  I am grateful to Katie for her courage in speaking out and her willingness to discuss these experiences with me.
