"We were abused. And it definitely was over the top and definitely veered into abuse at times," she says. "It's amazing to me how these different strategies, you know, different ways of thinking about children ... affirming their emotions can help them move through those emotions rather than trying to like clamp down on it." She adds that her daughter is so emotionally intelligent and understanding when she looks at her baby doll crying.

In this episode we sit down with Megan Phelps-Roper, the author of Unfollow, a memoir of her time in Westboro Baptist Church, and an exploration what it took to convince her to leave. I interviewed Megan for my upcoming book, How Minds Change, and in this interview you will learn all about assimilation and accommodation, cult deprogrammers, and the steps Megan says one must take if they want to change someone's mind.
