The Heart of Cult Recovery: Finding Compassion for the Self (Daniel Shaw LCSW.)
ICSA is pleased to introduce our new monthly series for our mental health community. Each month will feature a different clinician discussing some aspect of clinical work. Each presentation will serve as a stimulus for questions and a discussion of clinical issues, which will occur during the following hour.
Daniel Shaw LCSW will discuss his clinical approach to working with cult survivors. His approach is based on more than 25 years of experience as a psychoanalyst, and on his own experience of 13 years living and working in the ashram of a guru he came to see as a cult leader. He will discuss the importance of psycho-education, about the psychology of the cult leader, and about the effects on survivors of trauma. His approach emphasizes the importance of self-compassion, the antidote to self-alienation, through the use of self-reflection and self-regulation skills.
After completing this webinar, participants will be able to:
1. Define self-alienation and identify the symptoms of self-alienation in cult survivors.
2. Identify the psychopathology of the traumatizing narcissist, including their specific abusive behaviors that negatively impact the functioning of cult survivors.
3. Educate cult-survivor clients to develop self-reflection and affect regulation skills in their process of trauma recovery.
