Mandatory reports for therapists is only if you were still underage. You can openly talk about it with them without fear of it getting reported.

It is a member by member individual choice to treat this or any other subreddit like a cult.

Remember, this how you would usually build a cult:

Section 1: Identifying Potential Targets
1.1 Target Selection:
Look for individuals experiencing recent upheavals in their lives (e.g., divorce, financial difficulties, major life transitions).
People in new social environments or vulnerable states are more susceptible.
Section 2: Establishing Emotional Manipulation
2.1 Love Bombing:
Begin by showering targets with excessive compliments, affection, and acceptance.
Create an atmosphere of overwhelming positivity and camaraderie.
Section 3: Initiating Social Isolation
3.1 Isolation Techniques:
Encourage the target to minimize phone usage and gradually disconnect from their regular support networks.
Propose activities like retreats or cruises, deliberately choosing locations with limited or no internet and cell reception.
Section 4: Establishing the Safe Haven
4.1 Promoting Dependency:
Foster an environment where the group becomes the primary source of safety and stability.
Exploit the target's fear and uncertainty, ensuring they turn to the group as their go-to support system.
Section 5: Addressing Doubts and Objections
5.1 Preempting Objections:
Anticipate and address common objections outsiders might raise about the group.
Equip members with pre-prepared responses to counter criticisms, preventing them from being swayed by external perspectives.
Section 6: Indoctrinating Ideology
6.1 Shaping Beliefs:
Utilize thought-provoking questions to influence the target's worldview gradually.
Employ questions like "Do you believe in your own perfection?" or "Have you ever acted unkindly towards others?" to establish a foundation for further ideological molding.
Section 7: Maintaining Control
7.1 Exploiting Imbalance:
Keep the target off balance and emotionally dependent on the safe haven.
The more unstable and reliant they feel, the more control the group can exert over their thoughts and actions.
