Some info on treatment of former members of destructive cults. There is also a recommended reading list and video links (posted here previously).
?Educate the client about mind control so the client sees the problem is with the cult system, not with them specifically. What people emerging from cults really need is information and help breaking the ties that they were led to assume... they need to understand how they were changed and why they stayed, so they don?t keep on thinking that there is this big defect in them...?
