The Gentle Souls Revolution

Like so many others, I’m doing the best that I can to keep faith that the current violence and madness will stop.

Honoring Robert J. Lifton, pioneering scholar of cultic studies and author of Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism. His insights into brainwashing and coercion transformed my understanding of cult dynamics and helped me heal from my own experience.

So, I pulled the plug early. I deleted my personal Facebook account before my self-imposed September 30th deadline. While I still feel the pull to check Facebook every time I open a browser (which is an interesting study in how addictive these sites are) I don’t miss it. I am calmer. My mind is clearer.

Steering towards calm, clarity, and empowerment is the reclamation/recovery.

Protecting time, space, and energy is recovery. Take it back. Protect it.

Have you heard of rage bait, rage farming, and rage seeding?

The 3 word boundary I learned that stops people dead in their tracks.

Fairy recently, I decided that I had to balance my life. For so many reasons, all cults, all the time is NOT good for my mental health....

Many former cult members hesitate before sharing their experiences. I get it—there are good reasons! That said, I’m writing to encourage you if you are feeling the need to share and are constrained for whatever reason.
