Have you escaped a high-control group, abusive relationship, or destructive cult - and wondered, "What now?"
Written by Chris Shelton - a 27-year Scientology survivor with a Master's degree in the psychology of coercive control - What Now? is a compassionate, no-nonsense guide for anyone navigating life after a cult.
Leaving physically is only the beginning. True freedom means undoing the indoctrination, releasing the unearned guilt, and reclaiming your own mind.
Inside, you'll find:
- How coercive control works - the manipulation and loaded language designed to bypass your thinking
- Why your nervous system still reacts - understanding trauma and emotional triggers after prolonged abuse
- The REM Model of Behavior - Shelton's unique framework for understanding how Reason, Emotion, and Morality are exploited
- How to rebuild your identity - restoring independent thought and healthy boundaries
- A path forward - from surviving to genuinely thriving
Whether you're a survivor, someone born into a high-control group, a supportive loved one, or simply curious about undue influence - this book meets you where you are.
You are the best guide for your own recovery. This book is here to help you find your way.
