Dr. Hassan has some amazing guests and is incredibly knowledgeable. However, it drives me up the wall how often he interrupts or speaks over his guests. It seems like it's when he gets excited and wants to add info, but now I can't hear either of you because you're both talking! I will continue to listen though because I enjoy learning about this topic, and would still recommend this podcast to others.
Description
Steven Hassan, PhD, is one of the leading experts on cults and undue influence in the world. A former member of the right-wing Moonie cult, Hassan was deprogrammed 45 years ago and has dedicated his life to helping people out of cults and destructive situations. Dr. Hassan is a licensed mental health professional and has written four books, including The Cult of Trump and the seminal book Combating Cult Mind Control. On this podcast, Steve will explain HOW mind-control works, and how to protect yourself from its grips. He will also address ethical influence as the podcast will address the entire Influence Continuum. He’ll interview the biggest names in this field.
