Fun Fact: My last name is pronounced, "Gary-Arrow."

Celebrating 30 Years of FreedomJanuary, 1993. As an unsuspecting college freshman, I fall victim to a dangerous cult. Even though this group was banned from my university in 1987, I am recruited right on campus, in the classroom. I have no idea what is happening until it is too late. For weeks, I am subject to extreme love bombing and gaslighting. I am kept busy so that I am isolated from others as well as sleep deprived.
The only voice from the outside world that captures my attention is the television, broadcasting nightly stories about David Koresh. I ask myself, "Who would be so stupid as to go and join a cult?" The more I follow these news stories, the more I see the similarities between Waco and my new "friends." |
This experience marked the birth of my career. I began to educate myself on cults, psychological abuse, and narcissistic personality disorder. I soon discover that bullies and other toxic people are everywhere - yes, even in the mirror. Sometimes, our past hurts can turn us into reactive people: people that end up being toxic to others!
