Summary

Join Laura and Sarah Edmondson as they break down cults, coercive control, narcissism and psychopaths, as well how to help someone who is being manipulated and controlled. Sarah is a 12-year-NXIVM-member-turned-whistleblower. In March 2016 Sarah gathered with several other women in the belief they were entering a secret sisterhood they were told was created to empower women. She was not prepared for what came next. Each woman was told to strip naked and branded with what turned out to be Keith Raniere’s initial – the ultimate act of ownership and coercive control.
