Course Description
Basically there are two types of people who join cults, people who are searching for a higher power to guide them and people who are mesmerized by the energy, charisma of the leaders and organization of a cult.
Counseling current or past cult members attempts to address the whole range of problems that manifest in the victims of thought reform. The specific goal of the therapy is to assist the cult victim in establishing points of reference outside the closed polarized image of reality offered by his or her totalistic system.
The therapy consists of three basic elements: establishing rapport, describing points of reference outside the closed polarized image of reality of the cult, mourning/ reflecting and remembering the experience.
