The Freedom of Mind approach to recovery and healing from destructive cults is customizable and designed to meet the needs of most any person who has been influenced by a cult. People who were born or raised in a cult have spent their early developmental years under cult control. Other people may have entered into a cult later on in life as adolescents, young adults, adults, or older adults. Both sets of former cult members may have very significant needs for recovery and healing. The Freedom of Mind approach to recovery and healing helps the former cult member to find an internal locus of control, self-awareness, self-efficacy, and the tools needed maintain their own safety, well-being and effective functioning as they move throughout their lives. This approach is unique, focused on addressing the issues created by cult influence, and customizable to simultaneously address each person’s other individual needs. And, the intensive 1-week session of coaching and counseling will help to bring about healing and recovery in a much shorter timeframe than having therapy for 1 hour per week over many years.
