Willow: 我从小害羞内向,在中学时期通过唱歌和戏剧找到了归属感。在社区剧院认识了朋友和戏剧教练Matt,他有着迷人的个人魅力,并创建了一个排外的戏剧团体。我们都非常崇拜Matt,认为他能够帮助我们实现梦想。然而,随着时间的推移,我意识到Matt在操纵我们,利用他的教学方法来控制我们,压制我们的独立思考,并对我们进行身体和心理上的虐待。他与未成年人有不当关系,并利用我们的个人信息来制作电视节目。我经历了饮食失调,并为了保持身材而采取了极端措施。在大学期间,我开始意识到Matt的行为的严重性,并最终离开了戏剧团体。离开后,我经历了焦虑和抑郁,并通过艺术来处理过去的创伤。 Tiffany: 访谈中,我与Willow讨论了她与Matt及其戏剧团体的经历。我们探讨了Matt的操控行为,包括对成员时间和生活的控制,对异见的压制,以及对成员身体和心理健康的损害。我们还讨论了戏剧团体中存在的排外性和“我们对他们”的思维模式,以及成员们对Matt的盲目信任。此外,我们还探讨了家长在事件中的角色,以及如何识别和应对类似的操控行为。
