This session will demonstrate how to use creative art to treat people who exit cults, or cult-like situations. It will introduce a form of art therapy known as the Gestalt Art Experience, founded by the late Dr. Janie Rhyne, a Gestalt therapist who studied under Fritz Perls. Participants will also learn the categories of cultic abuse and neglect, including the different experiences of those raised in a group, compared to those who joined their groups as adults.
