on cult and related behaviors, exit-counseling, and recovery from controversial groups and abusive relationships. |
Joe Szimhart is available for lectures,
consultation, and interviews, but rarely for exit counseling or days long
interventions any longer.
Although he made a living from interventions [deprogramming/exit counseling]
for over 12 years, he has gone on to other career options since 1998.
