Summary

Nikieta Lambert and Asha Glenn are former members of the International Churches of Christ. Both having grown up with narcissistic mothers, they've been gaslit, shamed, and silenced their whole lives by the people closest to them, while thriving academically and professionally, a true paradox. They're now making it their mission to speak out against psychological, emotional, and spiritual abuse in the hopes of providing a safe space for others to speak out about their own experiences and learn what it means to claim their power and autonomy. Nikieta and Asha share with Rachel their experiences as long-time members of the International Churches of Christ. They discuss how the church misused Christian theology in order to restrict the autonomy of their members and asset control over all aspects of their lives. They go on to discuss how their shared experience of being raised by narcissistic mothers helped to prime them to be seduced by the love bombing ICOC uses as a recruitment tool and hindered their ability to recognize the abusive nature of its theology. Before You Go: Rachel offers tips on how to recognize when a controlling parent, partner, or high-control group attempts to define who you are as a person in order to create a false narrative of dependency thereby removing one's own autonomy.

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.
0:13.5	Hi, everyone. Before I introduce the wonderful guests for today, I wanted to mention a couple of things. One is that I am so excited
0:29.0	on behalf of my team and of myself to be able to announce that we have just surpassed two million streams. Actually, one million just in the last
0:42.6	year alone of the two million streams. Thank you to the powerful, powerful guests, to my talented
0:50.2	team and to the listeners all over the world, and I mean all over the world. And I'm going to be
0:58.4	talking more about where people are listening all over the world and kind of doing a bit more
1:03.7	of a deep dive into that and why they might be listening in different parts of the world,
1:08.9	but also in different parts of the United States. So stay tuned for that next time.
1:18.2	I also wanted to mention that while we have asked people to do reviews and post five stars,
1:27.1	if they're feeling the show deserves five stars.
1:30.8	And there's someone who gave us a review with less than five stars because she was saying
1:36.8	that she felt that my coverage of teen treatment programs was biased, basically, and that I needed to be careful to not lump
1:49.7	them all into the same category as being dangerous, and that some are healthy and some are good.
1:55.9	And so she gave the whole podcast kind of a lower star review because of that. So I want to make sure to be
2:04.4	very clear if I haven't. And I feel like I've said this. But when I'm mentioning a particular
2:10.9	issue, a particular organization, I'm talking about that organization. I'm not saying every program that works with teenagers is bad.
2:21.0	I'm not saying every residential program that works with teenagers is bad. I've never said that in my life because it's just not true.
2:28.8	I'm going to highlight where there are issues. I'm going to highlight the fact that there isn't oversight. I'm going to highlight
2:35.4	the fact that there isn't regulation to oversee all of the programs so that they interact with
2:43.2	teenagers in a healthy way and that someone is watching what's going on. That's just not the case.
2:50.1	No matter how much I wish it were different,
