Gerette Buglion’s compelling memoir, “An Everyday Cult” takes us into pathological manipulation - and out again. Wickedness done in the name of “growth.” Congrats @gerettebuglion #WritingCommmunity #memoir #coercivecontrol #spiritualabuse #religiousabuse #cultrecovery #igotout

The precarious process of reassembling oneself post-cult. Not easy. No wonder people are susceptible to being taken advantage of. This is from my upcoming memoir, “A Slice of Orange.” #asliceoforangememoir #coercivecontrol #wildwildcountry #spiritualabuse #igotout

Ooh those teeth!

I am so excited to be on stage with such courageous and talented people! Thanks for putting this together @igotout #coercivecontrol #takebackyourlife #memoir #writingcommunity

Dear fellow spoonies, this definition of "Acceptance" arose in my morning Word Bath. The Word Bath is a morning writing ritual - I invite a word to pop up and then allow a definition to emerge. #dailyaffirmations #writingcommunity #chronicillness #writingprompts #morningritual

Shanessa Gluhm’s suspenseful novel, “A River of Crows” is beautifully written and gripping without being terrifying. Complex characters with engrossing family dynamics. I loved this deliciously talented writer. #writingcommunity #newbooks #crimenovel #ariverofcrows @GluhmShanessa

I highly recommed Sarah Edmondson’s “Scarred”. It is a subtle, beautifully written memoir that exposes the NXIVM cult. #writingcommunity #cultrecovery #coercivecontrol #spiritualabuse #religiousabuse #alittlebitculty
