India Oxenberg is a survivor of the NXIVM cult who now uses her experiences to help other survivors of cults and high control groups. She spent 7 years indoctrinated in the cult, and for many of those years suffered sexual abuse, starvation, torture, and extreme brainwashing tactics.

In this episode, Elizabeth and India discuss her experience, including her extensive healing journey and how India learned to trust her mind again. Elizabeth and India also draw many parallels between what India experienced and what so many survivors of all types of abuse experience, noting that while the each story is different, tactics of abuse are often the same.
