Steven Hassan (@CultExpert) is a a licensed mental health counselor who has been educating the public about mind control, brainwashing, and destructive cults since 1976. He's the author of Combating Cult Mind Control: The Guide to Protection, Rescue, and Recovery from Destructive Cults and the founder of the Freedom of Mind Resource Center. This is part one of a two-part episode (part two coming soon).

What We Discuss with Steven Hassan:

How to use Steven's BITE model to tell if you or someone you love is involved in a destructive cult through control of behavior, information, thought, and emotion.
The four types of destructive cults most prevalent today: commercial, religious, political, and self-help.
How cults have weaponized the Internet and social media to fill their ranks and thrive as never before possible.
Why it's the people who believe themselves immune to (i.e., too smart for) cult indoctrination who are most at risk of being targeted and recruited.
How Steven has refined Ted Patrick's invasive cult deprogramming tactics of the '70s into a more effective strategic interactive approach.
