Growing Up In Polygamy

When 'Self-Help' Becomes a Cult | How Control Looks the Same Without Religion


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive into another story from How I Escaped My Cult — this time focusing on NXIVM, a group that didn’t claim to be religious, but promised personal growth and empowerment.


We break down how NXIVM used the language of self-improvement to lure people in, and how, despite the different promises, the control, manipulation, and abuse were alarmingly similar to what we’ve seen in religious cults.


Join us as we talk about the red flags, the psychological tactics, and why no one is ever "too smart" or "too strong" to be targeted by a high-control group.


If you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.org


At Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."
