44:22Now PlayingIn this part two of the “Recovering from Mormonism” workshop, Dr. Steven Hassan shares his harrowing journey out of the Moonies cult and unpacks the psychological tools of mind control, spiritual manipulation, and authoritarian influence. Dr. John Dehlin explores the connections between the BITE model and high control groups like the Mormon church.
Topics include Dissociative Disorder, Complex PTSD, and the eight criteria for brainwashing. From the cult of confession to thought-stopping cliches, this workshop sheds light on how language, fear, and doctrine are used to maintain control –and what it takes to break free.
