I am joined today by cult expert Dr. Janja Lalich. She has authored books which will help people to understand the healing journey for cult survivors and how those around them can be very supporting in their healing journey.

Leaving the cult life had left me feeling wounded, lost, confused, and at times even feeling shame. Dr. Janja Lalich really breaks down the ways my experience was culty and she also gives hope that healing and recovery is possible. For more information you can check out her website here:
