040: LEAVING THE CULT
WITH GUEST: Daniel Shaw, LCSWWHAT'S THE WHAT: On this episode, I talk to professional psychotherapist, Daniel Shaw about cult leader psychology and how exit therapy works. Understanding the psychology of a cult leader is key to understanding the cult itself and the trauma inflicted upon its members. We talk about who, exactly, these charismatic charlatans are and what is at the root of their narcissism. We also discuss the layers of therapy that must be applied - psychological, behavioral, physical, emotional and educational - in order to heal post exit. There are some very dangerous people out there with large followings right now. This is a must-listen if you want to understand how to spot a traumatizing narcissist and how to help a friend who is being abused and exploited by them.
