In this episode, Kristen is joined by Chris Shelton, a former second-generation cult member and author, who shares how he broke free from decades of cult indoctrination, exposing the psychological tactics of coercive control and the long journey to reclaiming critical thinking and personal freedom.  
 
You'll learn:
  • How love bombing and emotional manipulation are used to recruit people into cults.
  • Why coercive control makes it difficult to question or leave high-control groups.
  • How isolation and black-and-white thinking reinforce cult indoctrination.
  • What finally prompted Chris to question Scientology after decades of involvement.
  • How critical thinking and self-awareness can help people reclaim their freedom
