The rest of the story – Betrayal

8/5/2020

In the ensuing months apparently my way of teaching made the rounds among the Instructors. David was asked “Should  we teach like Joanna or like CARE?” I got a letter from the short-lived Compliance Committee. It said I was Restricted from teaching Emotional Release. I was to pay for the flight, the hotel room, and Supervisors pay – teach it the  “right “ way. I blasted a call to David. I told him about the letter. “Didn’t you tell me I could teach the way I did?”  I think he forgot or thought it was from a couple of complaints I had that the new cookie-cutter protocol way to do an emotional release session at the end of class didn’t work in my classes. People were releasing way before all the steps were done. I could hear David trying to smooth my ruffled feathers. He’s uncomfortable with confrontation. “Well,” he said,“ Lee” (his wife)  “and I haven’t been to NY in a while. Maybe we can come supervise your class.”

Meanwhile Mer and I met Dr Christi Bonds-Garrett who invented a way to do Raindrop with turning forks. We seem to meet people at the beginning of a new profession. She loved us, gave us the keys to her mansion, classroom, and office. We could stay at her home any time we were in town. We were her first formal students sometimes putting me in the teaching role before I was ready. One day before a class Mer and Christi and I were talking together. She was angry at David for something and I found out that it was David who went to the Compliance Committee to deal with my teaching. Tears pooled in my eyes and ran down my cheeks. Christi aghast said “ I thought you knew.” I didn’t. I felt betrayed by a man we considered a close friend. The next day the room was full of students milling around before class started. I was at the front of the room and saw David enter and he weaved around people to come to me. As I watched him  I realized that I still loved him, and forgave him, but sadly realized I could never trust him again. I returned his hug and kiss But it was without the usual enthusiasm.

During a break in the class David said,  “ You never came to an Emotional Workshop.”  I hadn’t.” I want you to go and teach a portion like you teach.” “ Like I teach?”   “Yes.” “Like I teach?” I asked again. He chuckled “ Yes, like you teach.” I agreed to go. David was in the class that I taught. Afterwards he came up and said,  “That was great. I learned something about myself. CARE should always teach like that.” I  felt vindicated but didn’t feel good. I even thought I didn’t want to teach emotional release anymore.
