Audio Books →Freedom of Mind Helping Loved Ones Leave Controlling People, Cults, and Beliefs [Audiobook]

In the post 911 world, people are more susceptible than ever to charismatic figures who offer simple, black v. white, us v. them, good v. evil, formulaic solutions. The rise of the Internet; increasingly sophisticated knowledge about how to influence and manipulate others; and the growing vulnerabilities of people across the planet-make for a dangerous, potentially devastating combination. Freedom of Mind provides the knowledge and awareness needed to help people avoid or escape dangerous people and situations. It provides an up-to-the-minute guide to the reality of 'undue influence'-the preferred term for mind control. It exposes the techniques and methods that individuals, cults, and institutions of all types-religious, business, therapeutic, educational, governmental-use to undo a person's capacity to think and act independently. Meanwhile, people are becoming increasingly vulnerable. People are more susceptible than ever to charismatic figures. Freedom of Mind Provides Help for Yourself, a Loved One, or a Friend. It identifies and explains how to identify and evaluate potentially dangerous groups and individuals. Hassan details his groundbreaking approach, the 'Strategic Interactive Approach,' which can be used to help a loved one leave such a situation. Step-by-step, Hassan shows you how to: evaluate the situation; interact with dual identities; develop communication strategies using phone calls, letter writing and visits; understand and utilize cult beliefs and tactics; use reality-testing and other techniques to promote freedom of mind. He emphasizes the value of meeting with trained consultants to be effectively guided and coached and also to plan and implement effective interventions. The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones is knowledge and awareness.
