Deceptive recruitment, isolation, fear + intimidation, and dependency are a few of the many signs to look out for when navigating a high demand space and/or cult. There are many examples that fall within each category that we will continue to share for our “signs you might be” series.
.
.
We want to hear from you! What are some of the signs you recognized before, during, or after your experience within a high demand/cultic environment? Let us know below in the comments ⬇️

🧡 A Day of Reflection, Gratitude, and Truth

Today, The Freedom Train Project (FTP) pauses to honor both gratitude and truth. For many, this day is not a celebration but a time of mourning and remembrance. We acknowledge the Indigenous peoples whose land we live on (Payómkawichum for the headquarters of FTP) and the ongoing impact of colonization that continues to shape communities today.

We also hold space for those who find this season painful—survivors of coercion and shunning, families experiencing estrangement, and anyone struggling with grief, isolation, or mental health challenges. Your stories matter, and you deserve care and connection.

Instead of centering on consumption or myth, let’s center reflection, justice, and empathy. By honoring truth and extending compassion, we build communities rooted in awareness and respect.

This International Cult Awareness Day, we invite everyone to take action:

📚 Educate Yourself – Learn to recognize the warning signs of cultic behavior and understand how coercive control operates. Many organizations, including The Freedom Train Project, provide resources and education on prevention and recovery.

🤝 Support Survivors – Offer compassion and nonjudgmental support to those affected by cultic abuse. Help them connect with qualified professionals and survivor-centered organizations.

📣 Share Awareness – Use your voice to spread the word. Share reliable information and stories of recovery across your social media channels and networks.

Together, we can raise awareness, protect vulnerable individuals, and empower survivors on their path to healing and freedom.

“In my family, love meant obedience. If I questioned, I was punished. I didn’t realize those were rules, not love.”

Survivors know the toll is lifelong. Studies show 42% of women experiencing DV are physically injured, and depression is twice as likely in survivors.

💜 Freedom begins when survivors rewrite the rules.

“Don’t question me”

“Stay loyal or else”

“Family comes first—even when it hurts you.”

These are hidden rules of coercion in cultic families. They mirror the wider truth: domestic violence is a pattern of power and control—emotional, financial, psychological, sexual, and physical.

💰 Financial abuse occurs in 99% of domestic violence cases, keeping survivors trapped in unsafe situations.

⚠️ Warning signs of financial abuse can include forbidding a partner to work, denying access to shared bank accounts, withholding money needed for essentials like food or medicine, or sabotaging employment opportunities. It may also involve monitoring spending, stealing money, or forcing someone to sign financial documents. These behaviors aim to create dependency and control by restricting financial freedom.

Naming these rules is the first step to breaking them
