Thought Reform / Mind Control

Psychological tactics that were used to suppress your critical thinking and enforce loyalty

• You were told your doubts were “Satanic attacks,” not valid concerns.

• You were warned that questioning leaders was considered rebellious, and therefore spiritually dangerous.

Potential clinical implications (especially in high control settings)

• Thoughts may be constantly second-guessed, and judgment may be doubted.

• Guilt or fear can accompany independent or critical thinking.

• Cognitive dissonance and mental exhaustion may result from trying to unlearn manipulative beliefs.
