Can you spot harmful control tactics in your relationships that mirror classic behaviors of cult leaders? Being in a controlling relationship with your family or a significant other comes at a major cost and can leave a profound and negative impact on your mental health, quality of life, and overall wellbeing. Unfortunately, it's easy to get sucked into the loop of repeating toxic relationship cycles we witnessed during childhood and as adults we find that those relationships can feel eerily similar. In this episode, I break down controlling and authoritarian cult behavior and demonstrate what it could look like in your every day life.
