Thank you for everything you each shared. So much resonated with my own experiences (sadly, it's plural). Revictimization. I didn't even fully realize until I listened to this episode. The analogy of the POW and sleep deprivation so people are easier to control. I lived that but had no idea, like many other things I've learned since leaving the cult, it was being used in such a horrible, manipulative way. I'll be listening to this episode at least one more time. Thank you again!
Thank you for sharing! I relate a lot to what you guys discussed. Wow. The revictimization topic. I didn't realize that this could happen. My family and I were unsure of where to go after coming out of a high-control group. We were broken (still healing from the trauma). We also immediately felt like we needed to be in a Pentecostal church (not UPC) because it was all we knew. But, now all that matters is that we attend a biblical church.
I’m struggling to find a church! This is what justifies part of the individuals that I use to congregate with… they insinuate that I am the problem because I’m unchurched at this moment.
