For anyone wondering how professional can be influenced by training which is so apparently flawed, do consider the dymanics of Mermaids training for teachers as revealed by Michael Conroy.
As someone astutely commented at the time, there were dynamics reminsent to how pyramid selling, Timeshares etc work.
Deconstructing parts of training from the outside is very different to being in a room with peers who have all apparently being swept along with the person presenting.
Just as the person presenting may have already being convinced by the same dynamics.
Recognising how the language of propaganda works is so important as when used effectively its a powerful tool.
Its easier to identify when things are transcribed.
Imherefornow posted transcripts of Mermaids teacher training event:
