I used to think it was rare to find someone who had been in an end-times cult. Turns out, it's not that rare! Join me in this episode of the More than Anxiety Podcast as Ryan Hernandez shares his incredible story. From a promising young life in Los Angeles to finding himself trapped in a religious cult that thrived on fear and deceit, Ryan courageously opens up about the challenges he faced, from sleep deprivation to the constant dread of divine punishment to making his way back to his authentic self.
Ryan's story isn't just about surviving life in a cult, but about managing and healing from anxiety and reclaiming his identity through vulnerability.
Key Moments:
- Ryan's early life and aspirations before joining the cult
- The gradual process of indoctrination and its impact on his identity
- The challenges and sacrifices faced as a member of the cult
- The pivotal moment that sparked his decision to leave
- The emotional and psychological toll of escaping the cult
- The healing journey and strategies for overcoming trauma
- The importance of seeking support and building a new life
