About this episode
When you're deprogramming from Alcoholics Anonymous or any high-control group, finding the right therapist can make all the difference.
In this episode of the Sobriety Bestie Podcast, I walk you through key questions to ask when choosing a therapist — based on advice from cult recovery expert Dr. Janja Lalich. This isn’t just about credentials. It’s about alignment, safety, and whether your therapist truly supports your freedom — not just your compliance.
Read the list of Q's on Dr. Janja Lalich's website here.
