S3: E16 - When is it a Cult? with Gerette Buglion & Lisa from igotout.org
Discussing the difference between a cult and a high control environment and the fine line between them. Addressing different tactics cult leaders use to control and how we reconnect with our core self after we’ve gotten out.
Gerette Buglion is the co-founder of igotout.org, and is a spokesperson for the #igotout movement, co-manages day to day operations and communications while also providing her expertise in Cult Recovery and Education. Gerette is creator and facilitator of Writing to Reckon - and offers free classes for people to write their #igotout statement in a supportive environment. Gerette’s educational memoir, An Everyday Cult was published in May 2021.
Gerette is dedicated to helping others navigate, heal from and avoid the complex power dynamics involved in coercive control. From writing workshops, readings, and consultations to public talks, Gerette’s work aims to cultivate compassion and discernment by engaging healthy dialogue and a psycho-educational approach that promotes autonomy and authenticity.
Lisa co-founded and created igotout.org. She receives, designs, coordinates, and publishes survivor’s stories, educational materials, and resources for the igotout social media. Lisa is the main point of contact for igotout communications through email as well as messaging on the igotout social media platforms and is a generator of community building initiatives within the #igotout space.
Lisa is a firm believer in Creativity being The Great Healer…for all trauma, but especially when it comes to recovering from cultic influence where one’s voice is often silenced. Through empowering and facilitating others to safely express their stories and voices, she discovers her own path of creativity and healing.
