So proud of you for facing these issues head on - it was so brave of you to leave all you’ve ever known. Reminds me of some real life handmaids tale shit! I left the extremist fundamental Christian “community” I was raised in 13 years ago and had no idea what I was doing. It took another 6-7 years for me to realize I was only holding on to the faith part inside due to fear of going to hell. I let go all the way and eventually started therapy and seeking out stories like yours to give me hope. That is where true healing has been able to begin. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. You are an inspiration. Much love. (This message is for both you gals - you both faced leaving the false safety of religion in quest for freedom and help others do the same - you are both heroines.) ❤️

Therapist here. I would NEVER do that. I wouldn't stand by and let someone be interviewed through their trauma reactions for hours and I wouldn't permit sessions I conducted to be recorded and broadcast on TV. I get what you're saying, but a therapist who did participate in a show like this would be suspect at best IMO. Reality TV and Trauma Therapy don't mix.

@patriciaritchie1783 Not with reality TV. As a therapist I might agree to be a part of a documentary or investigative news program, but not reality TV. Survivors have the right to tell their story however they wish (I hope the survivors on this A&E show were well compensated.) As a therapist I won't use my skills and knowledge to support the kind of sensationalism that reality TV orchestrates.

Documentary / reality TV producers absolutely do not have good intentions when they push survivors to cry like they did to Amanda. I understand why Amanda feels the show had an overall positive impact, but that can be true while also acknowledging the producers and network chose to abuse the survivors. There were plenty of opportunities to support instead of exploit. I recently learned about the work of Jess Shane. She’s bringing awareness to the deeply exploitative practices of the documentary / reality show field. The power dynamics and ethics of documentaries are so important, especially with these shows/films becoming so much more popular and sensationalizing.

Is there a place for polygamous escapees to go to? Like a women shelter specifically for ex cult memebers?

I hope there is a non profit who is helping people escape.

Great grandparents came here to mine gold then the jew besties they had talked them stay cut trees sell lumber and make deal with Mormons sell the lumber for their churches. Maternal side owned bars and diners and stayed after getting stuck here on way to California. Most guys from my dads side were high ranking masons also when fam came in out town they called them gypsies but they amazight (Berbers). So princess......... I got a chance? Are you Rh neg? You vibe like you are..lol do you salsa, my homies in Vegas teach it I need extend my experience I need a date and i'm tryin talk my son move back down we supposed to few yrs back he didn't private school and I only let him public school here it's better here.

I was so disappointed when the show stopped. I was hoping it was going to help others want to leave their cults. When it ended I remember thinking that I hoped it wasn’t because they didn’t have enough people fleeing to record an keep the show going. The show was so empowering and heartbreaking at the same time. It was just so awesome to get to witness the people start new paths in life and how each person was reacted differently. It was interesting because I didn’t know anything about these religious groups until I seen the show. Love you two together, you have great chemistry and personalities mesh so well together.

She even wrote a book to try and indictrinate others. Not sure if she ever finished and/or published it. On my dads side they were Catholic with weird interpretations of Catholicism.

At about 43 minutes in, when Amanda talks about how empowering it is to see yourself as other people might be seeing you, I remember feeling exactly that way when I started modeling. Yes, I see the flaws in myself, but I also see the things that I (and other people) like. Also, getting that outside perspective helps me see things I might want to change, & maybe even ways to implement those changes. Even if I never take the necessary steps, knowledge is power. So many levels of pride!

I've never even been in a cult or any other high demanding groups but I grew up raised in the Baptist church and there are SO many similarities. These two channels are so so so cool to hear people talking about their stories! I'm so interested in the Mormon community now & how they were formed in the early days of America, how they had dealings with the government, and how they settled Utah. It's all just so interesting!

Watching this video makes me want to rewatch the entire series. Escaping Polygamy was a life changing experience, I had no knowledge of these groups and their ways. My only experience of polygamous cults was, as a Texan, watching those children ripped from their families in a mid-2000s raid on a polygamous compound. I want to do more but I don’t know where to start. I bought a tshirt from the Hope After Polygamy 501(c)3 charity but hope I can find more ways to contribute. I could at the very least buy another shirt ☺️
