Скачать или смотреть They Said I Was K*LLING Myself By Leaving | Healing From Cult Abuse

I gave everything to a faith that controlled my life — and leaving it was the most painful, powerful step toward getting myself back.

In this conversation, Quincy shares his experience as a survivor of spiritual abuse in a high-control religious group. He talks about the manipulation, exploitation of his skills, and the isolation from family and outside support — common cult control tactics that kept members dependent and afraid to leave.

He opens up about the emotional toll of constant pressure, fear, and guilt, and the painful reality many survivors face after leaving: being shamed, discredited, or cut off. As a former leader, Quincy also reveals the hidden burnout, mental strain, and impossible expectations placed on those in authority.

Walking away was devastating — but it was also the beginning of healing. Quincy now encourages others to research, recognize coercive control, and understand that questioning isn’t betrayal — it’s the first step toward reclaiming your identity and freedom after spiritual abuse.
