If a relative ends up in a sect, the family will have a difficult struggle to get him back to his old life. He can't do it alone. It will take a lot of strength and patience from loved ones so that a loved one is there again.
Who gets into the sect?
The sect usually includes people with serious psychological problems. Someone lacks the love and attention of loved ones. In the sect next to him there will be caring and caring people.
Some are not sure of themselves. Tired of fighting for a "place in the sun". The sect is perceived as a refuge. In it you can hide from problems and daily routine.
In a sect, imperceptibly for himself, a person loses independence. His views change.
Now the sect occupies the first place in his life, which used to belong to his family and career. He is ready to sell property, real estate in order to make a contribution to the common cause.
How do you become adepts?
The new adept is influenced in different ways. It can be drug addiction, involvement in criminal activities, intimidation. The goal is one - to cut off all paths to a past life.
Various psychological techniques are used to attract people to the sect. For example, a person is offered to know something mysterious or mystical. They "play" on his curiosity.
First, they are invited to a philosophical seminar, which lasts several days. There, supposedly by chance, acquaintances take place, relationships are struck with other adepts.
An imperceptible pressure is exerted on a person. His consciousness is being manipulated. Each sect has its own recruitment scheme.
Relatives find out too late that a family member is in danger. To all attempts to get him out of there, the person reacts aggressively. Sometimes, realizing his position, the new adept is afraid to leave the sect. He is being blackmailed and intimidated.
Return to family
Fight for a loved one. Don't leave him in trouble.
Protect you from new friends for at least a month. Offer him, for example, to go to the sea together.
Monitor his communication. Watch what he eats and drinks. Often special substances are added to food, causing a state of euphoria, suppressing the will.
Sectarians and fanatical believers have a very narrowed and limited consciousness. Do not overpersuade your loved one. Try to expand the circle of his interests.
Involve in family activities. Invite to birthdays, holidays, fishing, camping. Show him a different life, different needs and interests.
Do not try to pull him out of the sect by force. Don't criticize his beliefs. Let him relax and stop defending himself.
He will understand that he is needed and loved. He needs it now. Surround your loved one with warmth and care. Provide him with friendly participation and support.
A sect is a lucrative business. She tries not to miss those who are hooked on her. Experienced mentors work with adepts in the sect.
This problem cannot be dealt with alone. Involve psychologists and law enforcement agencies in the fight. Sects in Russia are illegal.
