In this episode, Dorian Wallace (he/him) reads his latest essay from Substack, Understanding High-Control Dynamics: From cults to toxic workplaces, many high-control environments share similar patterns of manipulation and abuse. Drawing from his work in cult recovery, hospice care, and prison music therapy, Dorian explores how coercive control operates across various environments—cults, gangs, abusive relationships, workplaces, and more. Learn to recognize patterns of manipulation, abuse, and hierarchy, and why activists should understand these dynamics to organize in healthier, more effective ways.
