[Day 237] Personal Guilt Therapy Mingle | OTA
[ 'Have you ever thought that everything is your fault? Do you pile guilt on your shoulders, regardless of where fault lies? Do you sometimes blame yourself for a diminishing environment? Have you ceased bothering to cry 'but there were circumstances'! Then this is the therapy group for you!

The Personal Guilt Therapy session takes place in one of the classrooms in the education center. It looks very much like other therapy sessions you might have been herded into: plastic chairs in a circle around a low circle shaped table. Refreshments sit on a table near the door with cookies, pastries, coffee and hot water to dunk generic tea bags in. There are also a few envelopes of stale hot chocolate mix.

Rather than assault you with a battery of questions, the table in the center simply has a directive, a guide if you will, to talking about your guilt. The questions are written upon white paper then taped securely to the center of the table.

Once you've gotten yourself some refreshments and settled a bit discuss the following among your peers these questions:

*What do you personally feel guilty for? Why?
*What were the circumstances surrounding these things you feel guilty about?
*Was there any way to change the outcome that caused your guilt?
*Does anyone else blame you?
*How does your guilt affect your everyday life either back home or here?

ooc: as per all the other therapy sessions, don't feel it necessary to limit your character to these options. Mingle, make new threads, profit! ]

	I guess you've been doing this awhile. [Group therapy or blaming himself? Who knows. Maybe both. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's been an all day affair. I've worked harder today than I ever did in my entire life. [That's a lie, but with how he tries not to work too hard on a normal day, it only seemed like it was true for the day.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Peter quirks an eyebrow.] Really? [ Sorry, he's having a hard time believing that you've worked that hard today, Sougo.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-09-21 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, really. [He huffs.] This is the 6th session I've had to attend... Talking about my problems that much is hard work. If I'm not fixed by tomorrow, I'm gonna be pissed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Emotionally draining. I can buy that. [ Furrowed brow. He does not think this works the way you think it works. ] Uhm...I don't think that's how it works. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-09-24 08:16 pm UTC (link)
	That's what I'm saying. [He facepalms!] I'm aware that it doesn't work that way. It just would be nice if it did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	breakspromises 2013-09-26 03:25 pm UTC (link)
	[ Peter shrugs. ] Yeah. I guess it would, but...[ He shakes his head. ] I think we get something out of fixing ourselves. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-09-26 09:11 pm UTC (link)
	You're an idiot. [Blunt. Deadpan.] If everyone could fix themselves, they would have a long time ago, and we wouldn't be here in these therapy sessions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	breakspromises 2013-09-27 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	[ Peter rolls his eyes ] This is part of fixing ourselves. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-09-27 11:21 pm UTC (link)
	It's a waste of time. [Sougo shrugs.] This is not my job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	breakspromises 2013-09-28 05:11 pm UTC (link)
	Technically, none of us have jobs here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-09-28 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	You don't say. It still shouldn't be left up to us. That's bullshit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	breakspromises 2013-09-30 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	I'm not disagreeing with you. I just think that we've got to be willing, you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-10-01 12:04 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, well, you go "be willing" [He uses his fingers to indicate air quotations] and have fun doing that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	breakspromises 2013-10-02 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	You want to spend the rest of your day here, be my guest. [ He will get up and move to another chair though. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
