This week I am joined by Sunny Pereira, former Sea Org member and case supervisor, to discuss how Scientology auditing is organized and delivered, including what the case supervisor function is and how very different this is from any normal psycho-therapeutic setup. Enjoy!

This week, we finished our 30-day social media detox and time away from television and media. It’s almost impossible to overstate the number and significance of the changes which occurred to each of us and together. We tried to summarize some of them here in this week’s podcast. Enjoy!

This week I am joined by Rachel Bernstein, licensed therapist and cult recovery expert, to discuss “doubling down” and why people will cling to beliefs which have been proven to them to be untrue but which only makes them believe it more. This led to many examples from social media and some discussion on that topic as well, including how arguing is wholly but counter-intuitively a bad idea.

This week, I am again joined by former Sea Org member and CST staffer Dylan Gill, who illuminates us on many aspects of the Hubbard advices and directives surrounding the mystique of CST. This leads us to many places of conversation including some of our thoughts on how Shelly Miscavige fits into all this.

What do Scientology training classes actually consist of and how are they run? What happens when you sign up to become a Scientology auditor? How are you treated? How are you supposed to learn? What is this “word clearing” all about? And why should young people especially be kept as far away from all this nonsense as possible? All of these questions and more are answered in this extensive (and long overdue) breakdown of how Scientology auditor classes are run and what they teach.

This week I am joined by Katrina Reyes, former Sea Org member and now declared “suppressive person” who discusses her history entering the Sea Org at only 11 years old and how Scientology’s Sea Organization not only engaged in human trafficking back in the day but that this practice continues to this day.

This week I am joined by former Sea Org member Dylan Gill to discuss his experiences at Flag and then the Church of Spiritual Technology as a high-level executive. We trade anecdotes and do our best to keep up with all the cryptic language involved in talking about Scientology. Enjoy!

This week I have the longest interview I’ve done in one go with Binah (Bree) Mood, a woman who only just escaped from Scientology’s Sea Organization in October of 2018. We discuss her entire history with plenty of anecdotes and segues as various aspects of Scientology’s abuses come to light.
