Joe Kelly spent nine years in Transcendental Meditation and then five more with a rival swami, who convinced his former TM followers to sue for refunds from that group. This led to Joe meeting Margaret Singer, who helped to begin to rethink his involvement. For many years, Joe has worked helping members of authoritarian groups to rethink their involvement.
note: the former Cult Awareness Network was shut down as a result of a Scientology lawsuit, and then sold to that group as part of the resulting settlement. Today those who contact CAN via its website or phone number are connected to a Scientology front group. For more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Cult_Awareness_Network
