first, welcome.
and two,
I am not surprised at the hand and glove thing regarding both you and your husband's diagnoses.
I recently was diagnosed with PTSD , anxiety disorder, and borderline.
All as a result of being in a cult, or
coersive persuasive group...the leader
having axis II narcissitic personality disorder.
I will try to find the links for you for axis II
disorders.
I must tell you , Hitler was this very form.
There is only one way out.
I am 6 months into recovery.
And the "triggers" are all encompassing life things: music associations, symbols, things one normally wears, greeting cards, "teachings" or "orations", smells and the associations akin....it is ENDLESS.
on a side note, for former "students" of this group, there is a forum with a wealth of information concerning such groups.
it is called:
enlightenmefree.com
another person you can contact, who has 30 years experience with such groups and group leaders is Joe Szimhart |
