Welcome to indoctrination, a weekly conversation series about protecting yourself from systems of control.

I'm your host, Rachel Bernstein.

Thank you to all the people who have become supporters of the show.

We need your support and we need more support in order to keep

and also friends and family of those who are in situations where they're being controlled and they want to know how to help, how to

intervene, or if they should intervene.
