Show notes

Check out the updates and new blog post here!!
Hello listeners and welcome to this weeks instalment of the Cult Vault podcast. It is an exciting time here as I embark on the Psychology of Coercive Control masters course at Salford University. As I am studying, I will be releasing remastered versions of the podcast's earliest episodes. Here is my first ever interview with guests David and Amelia, both speaking about their experiences in different sects of the Pentecostalism movement. There is an update from guests on the blog post linked at the top of this description. This episode originally aired on May 30th 2020. In this episode you will hear cleaner editing, enhanced audio and a much less educated Kacey! Let me know your thoughts and thank you to David and Amelia and to all the listeners who have stuck with the show.

Ep. 280 When Therapy Becomes Abusive Miniseries Part 3 Oct 27, 2023

Show notes

For this instalment, I sat down to talk with Linda Pevac/Emma Stevens about her experiences being indoctrinated by her own next-door-neighbour and therapist. When Emma was at her lowest, and seeking therapy recommendations from her neighbourly psychologist, she had no idea what would happen next. A slow and methodical abuse of power led to Emma's imprisonment physically, psychologically and financially at the hands of a person who had been trained to do good, but used her knowledge of the mind to do the complete opposite. Emma' memoir "A Fire is Coming" is a timely, heartbreaking expose on the darkest sides of therapy.
