Mother's Struggle Against Manipulative Therapist

Huey, once a vibrant individual from a privileged background, fell under the control of self-styled healer Anne Craig, who manipulated her into a life of isolation, fear, and severe dietary restrictions, claiming that disobedience could lead to horrifying consequences. Similarly, Sarah Strutt reflects on her daughter's descent into Craig's influence, which led her to sever ties with her family for six years after being convinced she had suffered childhood sexual abuse. Both women experienced a profound transformation, with Huey losing her identity and health, while Sarah's daughter, now named Hui Hue, has rebuilt her life but remains distanced from her past. A heartbreaking tale of manipulation is echoed in the experience of a 78-year-old mother, who believes her daughter has been swayed by a 'woke therapist', leading to alienation from her family and friends. These accounts highlight the dangers of unregulated personal development practices and the devastating impact such relationships can have on mental health and familial bonds. The common thread is the struggle of families to reclaim their loved ones from the grips of manipulative figures posing as therapists.
