Welcome back to another eye-opening episode of Two Tired Therapists! This week, Kyle and Jackie pull back the curtain on the mysterious and manipulative world of cults, breaking down how they operate, why people join, and what psychological tactics cult leaders use to control their followers. But first, Kyle needs to get something off his chest—why do people insist on putting money down on the counter instead of handing it directly to the cashier? Meanwhile, Jackie’s over the ridiculous casting on reality dating shows—are they even trying to find real connections anymore?

In this episode, your two favorite therapists explore the psychology behind cults, from the recruitment process to the mind control techniques that keep members trapped. They share real-world examples of famous cults and offer insights into how to recognize when something is veering into cult territory. To close things out, Jackie challenges Kyle to a quiz on the strangest cult rituals—will he know which ones are real?
