Before she knew it, her parents had whisked her away from normality in Rio de Janiero to a life of communes and cult-speak. Worst of all, she -- like other children within the sect -- found her identity virtually erased by the all-encompassing ego of the Guru.
Sam is a psychotherapist, supervisor and executive coach working with individuals and organisations – as well as one of the founders of Brighton and Hove Psychotherapy. Her perspective comes from many years working as a psychotherapist and understanding your history from a psychological as well as emotional angle.

But his doubts about the organization soon led to his expulsion. Without any kind of support, he found himself in a depression and attempted to take his own life.
MARK from Talk Beliefs talks with Matt about his years growing up in the JW world, his devotion to the organization, and his final realization that the Witnesses are really only out for themselves.

LILY DUNN grew up with a mostly absentee father - an addicted, narcissistic man who fell into the Rajneesh cult. The group encouraged him to think only of himself - and he lived up to that with gusto.
MARK from Talk Beliefs talks to Lily about her strange upbringing, her life flitting in and out of the orange-garbed sect, and how her father - as well as the sect - finally and spectacularly impoded.
With her new book, Sins of My Father, Lily presents a stark and emotional memoir of a relationship with a father who might as well have been a ghost.

So, they take to the incel forums. An 'incel ' (or Involuntary Celibate) is someone participating in a mostly online subculture populated by socially-isolated men. Characteried by degrading posts about women, these 'incels' can occasionally take things too far -- even murdering the objects of their hatred.
MICHAEL HALPIN is an Assistant Professor in Sociology and social anthropology at Dalhousie University, Canada. He and his colleagues have analyzed thousands of incel forum websites to better understand these communities.
MARK from Talk Beliefs dives deep into this weird and unsettling world, uncovering the habits, secret language and dark plans of so-called incels.
