Do I believe that Pierre S. Freeman is the only one who has suffered these experiences? No.
People who come out of cults suffer a lot of symptoms related to post-hypnotic stress disorder. Here are some that I have experienced: hyperalertness, a growing negative view of the world, guilt, irritability and anger, nightmares (and daymares), flashbacks.
I also experienced some blackouts, very obvious disassociate behavior- like laughing or cursing during my period in the Sanctum, towards the end of involvement; confusion and disorientation; panic and an extreme sense of anxiety, without any obvious cause.
I would be quite interested in collecting any information about experiences similar to mine. I will keep them strictly confidential, if requested- or publish them anonymously, if so wished. I would also be happy to receive any information from anyone who wishes to openly account for his or her experiences of this nature.
Are there other people out there- with a story to tell?
