What Chris Shelton, MSc makes

Topics cult recovery, coercive control, psychology, critical thinking, scientology

Welcome to Chris Shelton's YouTube channel. This channel is about coercive control, cult recovery and critical thinking. Chris used to be a Scientologist and escaped in 2013. In realizing just how deep the rabbit hole of manipulation and deceit of Scientology was, Chris created videos outlining how Scientology works. He then began talking to psychologists, sociologists and former cult survivors across the spectrum as part of his own recovery and this led to completing a Masters degree in the Psychology of Coercive Control. Coercion and abusive practices are routine in far too many religious and self-help practices. This channel is an effort to push back against that. Weekly schedule: ============== Sat: Speaking of Cults podcast and Straight Up and Vertical w/Tony Ortega Sun: Critical Q&A live Moderation policy: Rudeness, intolerance, trolling and insults will be blocked. Be respectful.
