SHADOWLAND: Self-Harm Cults – The Story of Sarah

This Jungian Life Podcast

DREAM WITH US, and we’ll teach you how to interpret them!⁠⁠⁠

*Content warning: contains references to sexual abuse, animal cruelty, self-harm, and cult exploitation*

This is Shadowland, a new podcast experience from This Jungian Life that explores the lives of people who work and take refuge in the hidden places of our culture. We hope our work will bring insight, compassion, and understanding to the darker side of human experience.

In that spirit, we meet Sarah, a mother whose daughter was rescued from the self-harm cult called "764." This dangerous group has been identified by the FBI, who continue to prosecute their leaders. Despite those efforts, it continues and targets children. We explore how she discovered her daughter's entrapment, the process of recovery, the growing danger of these types of groups, and the toll it has taken on her. Sarah's ongoing work investigating these cults requires that we protect her identity. We are using a pseudonym, altering her voice, and obscuring her face.
