After years of people erroneously assuming that Paula's research on religious abuse is focused on cults, we finally actually talk about cults! Jill and Paula break down the common characteristics of cults and what distinguishes cults from other religious organizations. 

Plus, Paula has a big announcement! She has opened the Center for Healing Religious Harm to provide counseling (to residents of North Carolina), consultation, and supervision services. The official website is still under construction, but you can get her contact information and check out one of her therapist profiles here.
