Welcome to Andrew Pledger, a Cult survivor, and survivor of child sexual abuse. Andrew discloses for the first time publicly the sexual abuse he suffered, and looks at the link between being raised in a cult and dysfunctional family, to the sexual abuse he suffered.
He feels that what helped him in his recovery and healing from both the cult and CSA was; Validation, Self-compassion and Therapy.
