Summary

Daniel Barban Levin and Felicia Rosario are survivors of the now infamous coercive control group led by Larry Ray, who is now serving a 60-year prison sentence. Their stories are both heavily featured in the new Hulu documentary STOLEN YOUTH: INSIDE THE CULT AT SARAH LAWRENCE The film which is available now for streaming offers striking first-hand interviews with con man Larry Ray’s victims and incorporates personal audio tapes and video recordings to tell the story of his grim 10-year influence over a group of young people. The series follows the story from the cult’s origins in 2010 on the Sarah Lawrence campus until its recent demise when the last members find their own paths to survival. In this emotionally revealing continuation of their discussion with Rachel from last week, Daniel and Rosario look back at their experiences in disbelief and continue their analysis with a newfound perspective having shaken the psychological spell they were put under by the master manipulator and sociopath that controlled their friend group. Throughout the conversation, Rachel offers her insights into the common traps that people can unknowingly fall into when they have the misfortune of encountering predatory narcissists like Larry Ray. Before You Go: Rachel addresses the false dilemmas that manipulative controllers create in order to conceal their malicious intent disguising it as benign or even savior-like. You can stream STOLEN YOUTH: INSIDE THE CULT AT SARAH LAWRENCE now on Hulu. Watch the trailer here: youtu.be/p81Zit72Yao Daniel's book SLONIM WOODS 9 is available everywhere now.

Welcome to indoctrination, a weekly conversation series about protecting yourself from

0:09.6

systems of control. I'm your host, Rachel Bernstein. Hi, everyone. I wanted just to thank

0:17.3

our listeners in Australia and Hong Kong, Finland, Ukraine, and Iceland. There is something so

0:26.2

nice to know that this resonates with people all over the world. And of course, a thank you to all

0:32.2

of our listeners all over. Again, this is very, very exciting. And again, sending out our good wishes and our strength and

0:42.2

support to the people of Ukraine during this time and all around the world where there

0:46.6

are issues taking place where people's rights are being either taken away or their safety

0:52.2

is being compromised. And we offer our support.

1:01.9

And for today, we have Daniel and Felicia, who have come back on our show for part two of their

1:15.1

two-part conversation. It's hard to have a conversation with Daniel and Felicia that has to end

1:22.1

at some point. There's so much to this story. There's so much that's taken place. And I have a feeling, too,

1:28.5

that there are going to be so many times that people are going to be telling their story,

1:35.3

just as Daniel and Felicia do, where they say, this is actually making more sense as I'm learning

1:42.5

more, as I'm having more of an understanding of how

1:46.8

this control takes place, but there's still some things left as unknowns. There are things that

1:53.0

our brain unfortunately does, where we make sense of things. We make sense of the things that don't make sense.

2:02.3

We do so much of the work for so many of the cult leaders

2:06.8

who present us with situations that would blow people's minds

2:12.3

that don't make the least bit of sense

2:15.0

and are maddening in how much they don't make sense.

2:18.2

But we will often put together the disparate parts, the parts that don't come together just so we don't

2:26.9

have cognitive dissonance, just so it's not left as an unfinished puzzle in our heads, and we can then sleep that night.
