澳大利亚临床心理学家Ahona Guha分享了自己在青少年时期被邪教招募的亲身经历1。她在16岁时开始参加占星术和自我认识课程，在随后的六个月内逐步陷入邪教组织，最终在一年内成为完全投入的教徒1。该邪教宣称情感是来自另一维度需要消除的实体，声称其领导人是唯一活着的神1。
Guha博士于去年10月向维多利亚州议会的邪教调查委员会作证1。调查委员会于周三发布建议，主张将基于群体的强制性控制定为犯罪行为，并为脱离邪教者提供额外保护1。研究表明，容易被邪教招募的人通常具有对不确定性缺乏容忍、心理健康困难、早期创伤经历、关系焦虑和被拒绝恐惧等特征1。邪教组织常见的招募策略包括采用无害的门面、进行爱情轰炸、实施信息隔离、进行行为与感官控制、使用思维终止陈词以及进行语言操纵1。
Clinical psychologist Ahona Guha has publicly detailed her recruitment into a cultic group at age 16, revealing how the organization employed systematic psychological manipulation to secure her commitment within a year.1 The cult utilized progressive courses in astrology and self-awareness, combined with love bombing, information isolation, and behavioral control tactics to draw her deeper into its ideology.1 Central to the group's teachings was the claim that emotions were entities from another dimension requiring elimination, with the leader positioned as the only living deity.1
Guha testified before a Victorian parliamentary inquiry into cults last October, contributing her firsthand experience to an official investigation.1 The inquiry released its recommendations on Wednesday, proposing that coercive control operating within group settings be established as a criminal offense and that additional protections be extended to those exiting cultic organizations.1 The investigation identified common vulnerability factors that make individuals susceptible to recruitment, including low tolerance for uncertainty, mental health challenges, early trauma, relationship anxiety, and fear of rejection.1 Cultic organizations typically operate through an innocent-seeming facade before escalating to isolation tactics, information and behavioral restrictions, sensory manipulation, thought-terminating clichés, and linguistic manipulation to maintain member compliance.1
