from The Cult I Left Behind · host Amanda & Kyle Briggs
When Chantelle was sent to the cult Headquarters as an “encouragement case,” she encountered Bill Gothard’s inappropriate and abusive behavior toward teenage girls firsthand. She shares what it was like to grow up in IBLP and ATI, survive both Headquarters and the cult’s finishing school for young ladies, and ultimately marry young to escape her father’s “umbrella of authority.” Today, Chantelle uses her story and training in hypnotherapy to educate others and bring healing to those manipulated by shame, guilt, and fear. She also offers practical ideas and resources for people who want to pursue healing but face financial constraints.Connect with Chantelle:www.chantellen.comResources Chantelle Recommends:The Tapping Solution Appwww.ifsbuddy.chatBooks Chantelle Recommends:Feeding Your Demons by Tsultrim Allione Self-Therapy (3rd Edition) by Jay Earley, PhDThe Untethered Soul by Michael A.
