Because of that indoctrination, as an adult, I refused to seek help facing escalating health challenges, including high blood pressure and mental trauma.
So, in essence, we were paying for the indoctrination of the Afghan people, which again is not my idea of what an international organization ought to be doing.
Once in the cults, members are subjected to indoctrination, which can take different forms, and this level of coercive control is strengthened with guilt, shame and fear.
I think this feels like a prime moment to undo some of the history, some of the narrative, some of the indoctrination that we've had that just doesn't work for us anymore.
