Cult recovery work is underserved, under-researched, and largely absent from clinical training and yet practitioners are encountering this population regularly, often without knowing it.
This three-hour live online webinar is for practitioners who have recognised that gap and want to do something about it. Over three hours, Sam Sellers and Elise Heerde of Religious Trauma & Cults orient you to the landscape: what cult recovery work actually encompasses, what survivors bring into the room and how it's frequently misread, and the honest questions about where practitioners fit; ethically, clinically, and sustainably.
This is not a gentle introduction. It's an evidence-based, trauma-informed session designed to give you real grounding in a space that most training has left empty.
What's covered:
The scope of cult recovery work - definitions, contested terrain, and why this population is harder to identify than most practitioners expect
Common presentations, frequent misdiagnoses, and what the therapeutic relationship specifically activates for this population
Scope of practice, the advocate/therapist line, ethics, and what working sustainably in this space actually requires
