You don't have to process it alone

One of the most isolating parts of leaving a high-control group is feeling that no one around you understands. Friends may not know what to say. Even well-meaning professionals may never have heard of the group you were in.

​

In a support group, you don't have to explain from the beginning. The people in the room have lived it too.

​

Who the group is for

​​

• Survivors of cults and high-control groups, whether you left recently or many years ago

• People recovering from coercive control in a church, community, business, family or relationship

• Family members of people who are, or were, in a high-control group

​

What to expect

The group meets online, so you can join from anywhere in Australia. Participants share experiences, offer mutual support, and work together to reclaim a sense of agency, identity and connection.

​

Sessions are facilitated by me, Renée, a trauma-informed community mental health practitioner with lived experience of high-control groups. I understand the particular complexities of leaving a high-demand group.

​

• You set the pace. Sharing is always voluntary. You're welcome to listen.

• Confidentiality matters. What's shared in the group stays in the group.

• No group is promoted or attacked. The focus is on your recovery, not on debating beliefs.
