Post-Cult Counseling/Religious Trauma

What is a High Control or High Demand Group?

People often feel connection and purpose within a group. Groups can provide support, enjoyment, and create change. A high control group may offer these things as well—at least at the outset. However, these groups (also called cults) cause harm because they negatively impact our critical thinking and isolate us.

Was your (religious community, yoga sect, multilevel marketing company, activist group, etc.) a high demand group?
