214 - A Harrowing Midnight Escape - Danny Checks Out Of The Hotel California - Leaving "The Move"

Go to https://exjwhelp.com/professional-one... and fill out the form if you'd like help moving forward toward recovery while making peace with your past. If you've left a cult but find that the doctrine, mentality, culture or other parts of involvement are preventing you from getting where you want to be in life and being as happy as you could be, I have affordable programs to help as a Cult Recovery Coach. I work with those that have left, and those that are hoping to leave. I've worked with those that still believe, and those that have moved on. I've also worked with the partners and relatives of those that have left and want to be a better support to their loved one. If you feel stuck, struggle with perfectionism, have trouble making friends or in other relationships, feel like you're not enough, or don't know who you are, you're in good company. Everyone I work with deals with these things and more. The bad news is that it takes work to move on. Nobody just finds themselves there, and leaving the group is only the beginning of your path to healing. The good news is that these things are common among those that leave high control groups, so it's not you, it was your environment, and that means that you can make changes. I also work with survivors from other groups, those that grew up in narcissistic family environments, and more.

From being "autoshunned" alongside his mother to living on a remote 300-acre commune in the Ozarks, Danny exposes the inner workings of this secretive organization. He details the transition from a traditional life in Mexico to a life of isolation, "love bombing," and extreme religious radicalization in the United States.
