When they demonstrated the choice exercise, (chocolate/ vanilla), I saw it as a lesson to take what's available, and make the best of it. Not a bad point, and it's a great skill to have a good attitude in the face of disappointments.
The problem I had was when they paired us up, and we had to "choose" a situation that we were really upset about. This could be a betrayal, or a serious loss, etc. That did not sit well with me, and I agree that trying to fake your way through it can do more harm than good. Also, in "choosing" it, I would have been taking responsibility for someone else's behavior, (which was betrayal).
I also did not like their new definition of "choice." It would take an idiot to "choose" some of the things that people were dealing with, and once again, they were twisting the meaniings of words.
