SUMMARY:The Psychology of Cults: A Live Event
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by renowned cult interventionist Mike King\, this gripping live show takes audiences inside the world of cults: how they form\, why people join\, and what it takes to break free. From infamous groups like Jonestown\, Heaven’s Gate\, and NXIVM to lesserknown high-control organizations\, King explores the psychology\, manipulation tactics\, and warning signs used to influence and control members. The show also looks beyond the headlines\, examining how coercion and abuse can appear in everyday life\, including relationships\, workplaces\, wellness communities\, and social movements. Through real-life stories\, expert insight\, and interactive discussion\, audiences will learn how to recognize red flags\, better understand the pull of high-control groups\, and protect themselves and others. Fascinating\, unsettling\, and deeply informative\, The Psychology of Cults – A Live Event is a powerful look at one of society’s most mysterious and controversial subjects.
