Description:An Essential Road Map for Anyone Leaving a Cult or ChurchThere are 3000 to 5000 cults in America alone and many more worldwide--although few groups admit to being cults. For anyone leaving a church or one of these cults, the journey out can be fraught with landmines. Leaving often means giving up not just membership in a group, but also a world view, a community of friends, a mission, and even a daily routine. Although many thousands of people leave such groups each year, helpful resources are surprisingly scarce. Few therapists have been trained to support former cult members. Most people on the outside simply don't understand how easy it is to get into a cult, or how difficult to get out.The Leave the Cult Handbook offers first aid to those who want to untangle the confusion about what really went on in their group and who need to figure out where they're headed now.Find Clarity and SolaceThe Leave the Cult Handbook is written with an insider's eye. Author Hiyaguha Cohen spent 23 years in a cult before going through the difficult process of leaving, and she subsequently completed extensive doctoral research on how to help others in the same boat. The Leave the Cult Handbook will help you to explore the definition of a cult, the behavior of cult leaders, and the subtleties of cult mind control. Through questions for reflection, you'll discover how your group measured up in all these areas so that you can end any confusion about whether your group was a true path. You'll assess what your group gave you and what it took away. Finally, you'll look toward how you can begin the healing process. You'll find plenty of resources to help you get started.The Dilemma AddressedAt one time, the group or church you're thinking of leaving probably seemed like the answer. You felt lucky to be a member and so you devoted your time, your resources, and your talents to it. And then, something went wrong. You started to question things and to withdraw.Becoming disillusioned with a group that you once embraced with your whole heart can make you feel as if the earth has shifted under your feet. Everything you believed gets thrown into question, and depending on your level of involvement, the routines and activities that once structured your life no longer work; friends and family members may cut ties with you. The discrepancy between what you once believed and felt, compared to what you now experience may feel intolerable. The Leave the Cult Handbook offers a bridge to help you begin to make peace with the dichotomy between your old universe and your new reality.Practical, Down-to-Earth FormatThe Leave the Cult Handbook is full of open-ended questions for you to consider. These questions will help you to separate reality from your emotion so that you can get a clear-sighted view of your group based on your own value system. Throughout the book, you'll find places to reflect on your own experience so that the material becomes useful and personalized.You'll also find practical advice and even links to resources to help you get your life back.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
