Our guest on this episode is Dr. Steve Hassan Ph.D., who is not only highly educated, but also a pioneer of sounding the alarm to the epidemic rates of indoctrination around our world! He’s a sought after cult expert and has made endless media appearances on programs like CNN, making him a trusted source of information and advice on anything and everything to do with cultic activity and authoritarian control. Including undue influence, coercive control and all other types of indoctrination. Steve is also personal friends with Hoyt and Chele, and has been vital in helping both of them over the years, with their own trauma recovery process.
Maybe most importantly, Steve himself is a brave cult survivor, and highlights his own escape from The Moonies. You don’t want to miss this episode, as Dr. Hassan explains his BITE model: (Behavior, Information, Thoughts, & Emotional) control, and the things to watch out for in all of our relationships.
