I have been speaking for over 18 years, addressing the issues of Complex Trauma for individuals born and raised in destructive cults and high demand groups. I have had the privilege of speaking in Switzerland, Belgium and throughout the United States.
My personal story, as the daughter of the leader, of a pseudo- Christian cult and many years of studying cults, complex trauma, and my own journey to heal, allows me to bring a unique perspective to this work.
I helped develop and co-facilitated a three- day workshop for individuals born and raised in destructive cults and high demand groups. I was part of a dedicated group of counselors who did workshops for individuals who had left these groups.
