If my best friend in the world ruthlessly criticises me as a means of saving his own life, it’s not gonna bother me that much. Maybe I’m missing something about this technique, but it seems like it wouldn’t be effective if you knew what the game was.
It’s not that easy, self critisism to save your
self further breaks down any self esteem.
Keep in mind this society is so concerned
with “face” that these sessions can be devestating.
I would not be surprised to see several suicides
as a result.
