This ‘weekend workshop’ is for ex-group members only, and not family or friends. If you have left an abusive group or religion, this weekend is for you! The weekend is non-religious and accepting of all belief systems.
A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY NOT TO BE MISSED!
A WEEKEND WITH GILLIE JENKINSON PhD
Gillie Jenkinson, PhD is a psychotherapist accredited in UK. Gillie has studied cults at Masters and PhD level and asked the question of former members ‘what helped you recover from an abusive cult experience?’. Her book ‘Walking Free from the Trauma of Coercive, Cultic and Spiritual Abuse: A Workbook for Recovery and Growth’ published by Routledge in 2023 is based on all her research and years of working with first second and multi-generational former members. Gillie was a member of a cult herself a long time ago. Gillie has worked with former members for more than 25 years and has facilitated many former member recovery groups and is very much looking forward to coming to Brisbane and meeting whoever attends.
