Reclaiming Our Lost Selves with Gerette Buglion
July 18, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
FreeRECLAIMING OUR LOST SELVES
How understanding undue influence builds compassion and resilience
In this presentation four questions are presented and aimed to be answered through personal anecdotes, quoted resources and from reading brief sections from An Everyday Cult, Gerette’s memoir. These questions are:
What is Undue Influence and Coercive Control?
How does indoctrination take place?
Who is vulnerable to cultic influence?
And perhaps most relevant: how can this exploration support the health and resilience of our communities, neighborhoods and families?
IGotOut.org is pleased to sponsor this event. The #igotout movement empowers survivors of cultic abuse to share their stories online as a catalyst for education, prevention, and healing. Learn more at igotout.org
