E15 Confronting the Line Between Self-Help & Cults w/ Dr Glenn Patrick Doyle of SEEK Safely

In this conversation with guest, Dr Glenn Patrick Doyle, licensed psychologist and board president of SEEK Safely, we dive into the complexities of self-help culture, exploring its potential benefits and pitfalls.

Check out the SEEKSafely SUMMIT ⁠https://ilumn8.life/op/the-seek-safely-summit/⁠

We discuss the allure of self-help, the psychological dynamics that can lead individuals into high-control groups, and the fine line between genuine transformation and exploitation. The conversation also highlights the importance of critical thinking and awareness in navigating the self-help landscape, as well as the mission of SEEK Safely to create a safer environment for seekers. The discussion culminates in an announcement about the upcoming SEEK Safely Summit, aimed at educating consumers and promoting ethical practices in the self-help industry.
