0:00.0	Welcome to indoctrination, a weekly conversation series about protecting yourself from systems of control.
0:11.1	I'm your host, Rachel Bernstein.
0:13.4	Hi, everyone.
0:15.1	I wanted to make sure to mention, just in case you didn't know, that I have put together some series of webinars.
0:23.8	One is a three-part series for people who have been affected by systems of control.

1:42.4	there are a number of people who have asked for the webinars
1:46.8	for others, for their therapists, for educators, for former cult members to be able to explain to
1:54.9	their family and friends what would be good for them to know and how they can get support.
2:02.2	And for the family and friends,
2:07.8	it is also what you might be going through, what you might be experiencing, the feelings of frustration or helplessness, how you intervene in a way that doesn't push your loved one farther
2:14.4	away from you and farther into the arms of somebody who is controlling
