(HS Hassan 150140 2025) Escaping Exploitative Control: Must-Have Tools to Help Clients Disengage from Online Conspiracies,...

Course overview

You may not think your clients experience brainwashing, but regular people can experience radical personality change when online algorithms steer them to extremist content. And it's shocking how easily - given the right set of circumstances - individuals can find themselves being turned against their own family, friends, and beliefs. Many clients don't realize they're being manipulated, and neither do their therapists. Even when exploitative control is recognized, it's hard to know where to begin to help, since your client's inner voice and authentic identity has been usurped by a pseudo-cult identity, creating symptoms including identity disruption, reality confusion, sleeplessness, anxiety, depression, dissociation, anger, guilt, shame, and more. Now you can help your clients reexamine their belief systems and put an end to exploitative control. In this essential training, Dr. Steven Hassan, an internationally recognized expert on cults and undue influence, will empower you to help your clients regain their autonomy and their lives. In this transformative course, you'll learn: Comprehensive assessment techniques to recognize exploitative control that you can start using right away in your practice Cutting-edge approaches for dealing with clients' unwanted triggers and implanted irrational fears Psychoeducational interventions to boost clients' critical thinking skills to decrease their vulnerability to exploitation and protect them from manipulation And much more!
