Episode 37: Cult Recovery and Therapy - What do therapists need to know?

Do therapists have the skills needed to support the recovery of cult leavers? Yes! Do they understand the significance of the cult context? Hmmm, maybe not. In this episode, Lindy and Liz discuss the workshop they recently lead where they taught a room of mental health workers all about cult recovery. Listen in as they tell Caz all about it, share some tips for therapists working with cult-leavers, and explain why therapists should consider upskilling in cult recovery.  Show Notes: Book: Cracking the Cult Code for Therapists by Bonnie Zieman Book: Escaping Utopia by Janja Lalich and Karla McLaren Education: Gillie Jenkinson training for therapists - Mental Health Professionals and Therapists Workshop October 21-22 2024  Education: Decult Conference October 19-20 2024 Service: Mind Health - mental health provider based in Christchurch
