    Cults: Exposing Spiritual Abuse

    On this episode, we will explore the dangers and dynamics of cults and their leaders. Who joins a cult and why? Cult or Religion? Many times these cult leaders commit crimes that leads to victimization. We'll take a look at cult leader James Arthur Ray, featured on Oprah and The Secret, and "The Fatal Retreat" where three people died and many injured as a result of a spiritual exercise gone wrong. I hope that this episode can raise awareness. My sincere condolences to the families of the three people that died in this incident. Peace and Love to you. https://www.theverge.com/2013/12/4/5038930/the-death-dealer-james-arthur-sweat-lodge-deaths-in-sedona ;Mental Health Resource: https://www.counseling.org/knowledge-center/mental-health-resources; Crime Victim Resource: The VictimConnect Resource Center https://victimconnect.org/about-us/about-our-services/ 855-4-VICTIM (855-484-2846) *This episode contains adult language.
