#iGotOut is a way to tell your story and be heard. If you’ve been involved in a high-control group and got out, tell your story and tag it! IG/FB - @igotout_org
@NotYourAvgDeb @exoticpoet42 We want to broaden the conversation of toxic church / controlling group recovery with the hashtag #igotout. Understanding and communicating the universality of all our experiences in these groups, regardless of type, through the telling of our stories, is a path towards healing.
It has happened. The floodgates are opened.
You can now sue for military sexual assault.

This is the biggest win we’ve had in a really long time, toward ending rape culture. This is the only win, ever, against the military for sexual assault.
@PamHemphill79 We have been waiting for #igotout stories like yours. In this political climate, you are beyond brave to stand and share your story. May your journey blaze the trail for others!
This is the stuff infiltrating our government…fundamentalist beliefs will be forced on all through the mix of religion and politics if we don’t check it. #igotout
Is this how to retweet a thread? We at @igotout_org are more active on Instagram so if the whole thread doesn’t land on the feed, go to @CultExpert to read it.
It might be that it’ll be the folks who identify as cult survivors who can reverse directions. #igotout
I am so frustrated and disappointed in mainstream media. I wish they would educate themselves and their people about social psychology and teach people things that are true and that will actually minimize violence instead amplifying it. Are they really ignorant about fundamentals
@markvicente Are you ok and taking good care of yourself? The work you’re doing is so needed and important…but please balance the stress of it with good coffee and chocolate…or better yet, quality time with you know who! Live the good life! #igotout

“What is a Cult?” The latest episode of WTF is on my Mind?! is now up on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Youtube! I discuss my 25 characteristics and tactics of a cult. I cover Cult Leader dynamics, Narcissism, Utopian Ideologies, Spiritual Hogwash, Authoritarian Regimes, Brainwashing, DARVO, and Coercive Control. I cite the work of Robert Lifton, ICSA, Amy Morin, Janja Lalich, Dan Shaw, Rick Ross, and Steve Hassan. I’ve drawn from my experience in multiple cults (yeah… I know!) as well as conversations I’ve had with other survivors over the last five years. I hope you get as much out of listening to it as I did creating it! And please share it. Vigorously!!
