EP105: Was I In A Cult?

Episode 106 Published 4 years, 7 months ago
Description

Allison begins her series on "Belonging" with a provocative question: Am I In A Cult? Allison is joined by the hosts of the runaway podcast sensation by the same name. Tyler Measom and Liz Iacuzzi are to discuss the podcast, share their thoughts on cults and get real about this taboo subject. 

We probably believe that this would never happen to us. We wont get fooled by slick talk, group-think mentality, controlling tactics and whacky behaviors. But the research says something different. Many people who join "cults" are Type-A, of higher intelligence and high achievers. The truth is cults are everywhere and are often right in front of our eyes. Diet fads, charismatic churches, gyms, self-help groups, therapy philosophies and populist politicians are all prime breeding grounds for cults. This is an episode you do not want to miss!
