Hi Leslie,
In some groups leaded by a guru I found that members in big number have
physically or emotionally absent fathers. The cult leader fills the void of
the father, giving security to the participants.

Dear Friends,
Do any of you have any experience working with clients who grew up in
cults? I’m curious about your observations about the systemic patterns for
these situations. I shall be doing a constellation with a thirty year old
client who was her parents’ only child, and who grew up in a cult. They
remain in it, and she left some time ago. There are obvious impacts of this
sort of thing, but was wondering whether any of you had noticed any
patterns about where the attraction to joining a cult might come from, so I
can be on the lookout in the family system. Some of the sourcing on the
mother’s side looks pretty suggestive (a family history of molestation) but
there’s no useful info on the father’s side. So, just interested in any
patterns you may have noticed. Thanks so much!
I so appreciate the wide experience of this group.
