Aleah survived 3 years in the controversial "Second Nature Entrada" wilderness therapy program and its affiliated reform school systems. In this gripping episode, Aleah opens up about her harrowing experiences—facing isolation, grueling conditions, and psychological horrors in the Utah wilderness, followed by the strict and dehumanizing environment of reform school. From the moment she was kidnapped from her home to her eventual fight for freedom, Aleah’s story sheds light on the dark secrets of the troubled teen industry. The so-called “troubled teen” industry has been featured in popular Netflix documentaries like “The Program” and “Hell Camp” and Aleah shares the sinister details of what she witnessed and survived. What was it really like to endure Second Nature Entrada’s “therapeutic” wilderness tactics? How did the reform school program shape her life afterward? Tune in for an unfiltered conversation about resilience, trauma, and the quest for healing after surviving a system that promised help but delivered something far different. Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of emotional and psychological distress. Viewer discretion is advised.
