Скачать или смотреть Bad Vegan EXPOSED: Cults, Brainwashing & the TRUE STORY Behind the Netflix Documentary

“Bad Vegan” subject Sarma Melngailis joins cult expert Dr. Steven Hassan for a powerful conversation about coercive control, hypnosis, and how smart, successful people can be manipulated by predators. They expose the dark side of NLP (neuro linguistic programming), brainwashing, trauma bonding, victim blaming, dissociation, and coercive persuasion techniques used in cults, relationships, and society at large. Learn how predators exploit idealism, neurodiversity, and trust—and what we can all do to protect ourselves and others.

Watch now as Dr. Hassan and Sarma unpack her memoir The Girl with the Duck Tattoo, the failures of Netflix’s Bad Vegan docuseries, and the broader epidemic of manipulative men teaching hypnosis and pickup artist tactics online.

Topics include:
How hypnosis and NLP are weaponized to control and exploit
The dangers of “trauma porn” documentaries and media misrepresentation
Why blaming victims of undue influence is harmful and wrong
Understanding dissociation, coercive control, and cult mind control
How predators target intelligent, idealistic, and neurodivergent people
Practical steps to recognize manipulation and reclaim your self-worth
