When you hear the word “cult,” what do you think of? Maybe it’s people drinking koolaid or building a commune back in the 70s. But high control groups exist now, they are everywhere, they are extremely damaging, and no one thinks they are signing up for a cult when they first get involved.
This week, I’m talking with my guest Dr. Quincee about:
- What a high control group is.
- Our own personal experiences with religious trauma.
- Red and green flags to watch out for when joining a group or community.
- How people get sucked in to a cult and why they stay.
- The phases of healing and deconstruction after being in a high control group, religion, or cult.
- Tips for deconstructing on your own, and for supporting a loved one who you think might be involved in a cult or high control group.
Content warning: Religious trauma, cults, and high control group abuse.
