About the video:
”Jill Mytton left a religious cult as a young adult [together with her parents, when she was 16 years old], and now helps counsel people who are struggling with life after leaving cult environments.”
On Richard Dawkins see here.
Addition in the evening: Also see Mic Hunter on what sexual abuse is and how to define it and a review of his book “Abused Boys: The Neglected Victims of Sexual Abuse”.
Addition February 8: Mytton says that she doesn't blame her parents for what she experienced, because they were harmed in turn. But I think such a view can be (is) problematic if you really want a client (or you yourself) to recover. Miller for instance has written a lot about this, see on her site about forgiveness...
How many children haven't "understood" their parents through?? And what has this led to? Has this protected and prevented the latter grown up from doing the same thing, or similar things again? The conduct of forgiveness easily leads to denial about what's actually violating a child... But it is applauded in the society.
Also see what violations actually are.
Pia Mellody (and probably some other therapists/experts) writes/talks about these things too, see about defenses (but many so called experts are probably denying the problems with understanding our parents and early caregivers). Also see here on defenses.
