A Little Bit Culty

CHAPTER

Understanding Loyalty and Manipulation in Cults

The chapter explores the psychology behind why some individuals remain loyal to cults despite abuse and manipulation, touching on factors like deep brainwashing, attachment to a certain narrative, and lack of community support. It discusses the impact of leaving not just the situation but the story one has invested in and the absence of a supportive family structure for those who stayed loyal. The conversation also delves into the challenges faced by individuals who have cut ties too deeply and the complexities of power dynamics, abuse, and manipulation within cult environments.
