237 - Self-acceptance group mingle
[ The Accept Yourself Support Group is told to report to one of the rooms in the Sector 4 art center. The room is cosy and warmly lit with a bunch of plush armchairs set in a circle around a low table. On the table is a basket full of photographs, a stack of handheld mirrors and a card with the instructions. The photographs are all of inanimate objects, abstract patterns or landscapes, buildings or nature. ]

• Find a photograph that you feel represents you as a person. Take turns in the group to explain why you've chosen that card.

• Look at yourself in the mirror for five minutes. Take turns in the group to explain what it is you see in your reflection.

• Discuss why you see yourself this way. Discuss how you see those around you. Discuss the differences. Discuss how you can be more honest with yourself and your potential.

[ For those that are not yet ready to get going on the activities, there's plenty of delicious snacks and refreshing drinks available, as well as soothing music to ease the awkwardness. Let the self-examination begin! ]

	I didn't pick on either. I looked at that, but... I didn't quite understand the point of it. I didn't think it worked very well for me. [She's fine with herself... as long as she could hide what she really was] It seemed rather silly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is silly, as is the exercise where we're expected to study our reflections. [ as if they haven't looked at themselves in a mirror before and know what lies there. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes! That one is strange as well. It's not like all of the apartments don't have mirrors in them. I don't know what they are expecting us to do with that. Then again, I'm not sure why they are doing this in the first place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ finally, someone who goes ??? at human ways of dealing with things as much as seven does. ] I believe they hope to encourage more rapid rehabilitation in us by forcing those of us who are not ready to confront or problems to do so. Efficient, but ultimately ineffective. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It seems like that is the ultimate goal, but they are doing it in a strange way. I don't think its going to help most people, doing it like this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It isn't. If anything, it is making matters worse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I agree. They are trying to force us to do this and its just making everyone upset. That's not very helpful. (Reply to this) (Parent)
