Victoria Richard is a writer and aspiring curator. After spending several years in a high control group, Victoria now writes a weekly column about religious and spiritual abuse called Angels Over Presley Boulevard.
A year ago today, I sat down in a coffee shop and wrote down this part of my story. And it continues to be the bravest, the scariest, and also the best thing to admit.

A throwback from early in my writing journey - "Loosely defined, flashbulb memories are snapshots of time stored in our brains. A flashbulb memory is hyperreal – sensation is heightened, even the smell of the moment so real it might have happened yesterday." #cult

The BITE Model, developed by Steve Hassan, has become the litmus test for determining whether a group is cultic. Today I’ll give just a few examples of how my high school stands against the BITE Model.
