When Healing Becomes Control: Jules Evans on Psychedelics and Cultic Influence

<p>Jules Evans and Rachel discuss the overlap between psychedelic culture, therapeutic abuse, cultic dynamics, and coercive control. Drawing from Jules’ research into post-psychedelic difficulties and Rachel’s decades of counseling former cult members, they examine how charismatic facilitators and leaders can exploit trust, vulnerability, awe, and the desire for healing.</p><p><br></p><p>They explore guruism, dependency, group pressure, psychedelic therapy, AI-based spiritual movements, family-like power structures, and the risks of unregulated facilitators. They also discuss ways people can regain agency after harmful experiences and what to consider when assessing the safety and qualifications of psychedelic practitioners.</p><p><br></p><p>Jules Links:</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUE70klJkkikBFQdAqf27Jw" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUE70klJkkikBFQdAqf27Jw</a></p><p><a href="https://www.ecstaticintegration.org/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ecstaticintegration.org/</a></p><p><a href="https://challengingpsychedelicexperiences.com/" rel="nofollow">https://challengingpsychedelicexperiences.com/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Connect with us on social media:</p><p><a href="http://%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0https://linktr.ee/indoctrination%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0" rel="nofollow">⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/indoctrination⁠⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p>Support IndoctriNation on Patreon for exclusive bonus episodes and more:</p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/indoctrination%E2%81%A0" rel="nofollow">https://www.patreon.com/indoctrination⁠</a></p><p><br></p><p>Prefer to support the IndoctriNation show with a one-time donation?
