In the continuation of this Patreon bonus episode, Rachel Bernstein delves into the topic of long-term recovery and cognitive distortions experienced by former cult members. The episode covers various forms of cognitive distortions such as emotional reasoning, 'should' statements, labeling, and personalization. The emphasis is on identifying these distortions and the importance of cognitive restructuring in the healing process. The host outlines a four-phase recovery process, including physical and psychological departure from the cult, building a sense of self, emotional healing, and achieving post-traumatic growth. The discussion highlights the necessity of rebuilding social networks and the role of critical thinking in reclaiming autonomy and self-worth. Listeners are encouraged to be gentle with themselves and to remain open to positive feedback as they navigate their recovery journey.
