A podcast about cult hacking! Cracking the cult code to understand what they are, how they work, how people leave and how to make sense of the world after leaving. Father and daughter team, media graduate Celine, and former cult member now organizational psychologist Stephen, explore how cults work, why they are so dangerous and the experience of leaving and making sense of the world. They speak to cult hackers from all over the world, from ex members to academics, from writers to filmmakers, and from therapists to activists. https://pod.link/1540824671 https://www.patreon.com/culthackers https://culthackers.com/ Music is Snap by Purple Planet Music Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

As a member of a high control group Stephen was taught that 'self-help' books and programs (that were not from the cult) were dangerous and wrong. When you leave there's a desire and a possible need for self development, but there's also a risk of getting sucked into another all-encompassing system of belief. We discuss this question and more in the latest episode.
Plus we have 'Tweet of the Week' where we look at biases and how much High Control Groups use these to influence their followers and potential victims.

By the way what are MLMs?
Thursday Jul 08, 2021
Self help is also known as 'wellness' and the 'wellness' community started getting big in the 60's. It really crosses over into 'spirituality,' MLM's, Therapies (holistic and others) and is now bigger than ever. Many people with serious/chronic illness get pulled in and there is a lot of shame attached ( you create your own reality, so must be able to create your own healing, is how the thinking goes) - same with 'hussle culture' - all have big cultic traits and influences.

I don't agree with positive thinking. Realistic thinking is better.
