Did you really have a choice? With Expert Dr. Janja Lalich
What’s the real reason why cult leaders love to tell you that you create your own reality (hint: it’s not because they’re empowering you)? An international authority on cults, Dr. Janja Lalich joins me today to discuss her paradigm of Bounded Choice, how to recognize if you’re in a coercive control group, and some tips for getting out. Dr. Lalich’s four dimensions of “bounded choice” are: 1. Charismatic Authority 2. Transcendent Belief System 3. Systems of Control 4. Systems of Influence These 4 aspects combined with the indoctrination program make it nearly impossible for people inside coercive control groups to make any choices that are not aligned with the leader or group.
