And it’s shocking how easily – given the right set of circumstances – individuals can find themselves being turned against their own family, friends, and beliefs.
Many clients don’t realise they’re being manipulated, and neither do their therapists.
Even when exploitative control is  recognised, it’s hard to know where to begin to help, since your client’s inner voice and authentic identity has been usurped by a pseudo-cult identity, creating symptoms including identity disruption, reality confusion, sleeplessness, anxiety, depression, dissociation, anger, guilt, shame, and more.
Now you can help your clients reexamine their belief systems and put an end to exploitative control.  In this essential training, Dr. Steven Hassan, an internationally recognised expert on cults and undue influence, will empower you to help your clients regain their autonomy and their lives. In this transformative course, you’ll learn:
PURCHASE TODAY! Gain the vital skills you need to help your clients recognise and break free from exploitative control before it’s too late.
