Call Lake Legal to see how a brainwashing abuse lawyer can help you hold the organization accountable.
Brainwashing is one tactic of “coercive control,” a system that leaders in organizations like cults use to prevent members from leaving, fighting back, or reporting abuse.
Brainwashing can also be used by religious leaders or other abusers to isolate people and make them think no one will believe them if they report the abuse. They might also brainwash the survivor into thinking that what is happening isn’t abuse.
According to Brittanica, brainwashing can be “any technique designed to manipulate human thought or action against the desire, will, or knowledge of the individual.” The person performing the brainwashing isolates the person, controlling their environment and destroying outside relationships. Once a person has been brainwashed, they will likely have changed their entire way of thinking.
Abusers often use brainwashing techniques on people who are already in a vulnerable position. This could be people suffering from depression or anxiety or college students who are away from home for the first time and searching for belonging. Tactics an abuser may use to brainwash someone include:
