Generation Cult is dropping back in with a bonus edition to celebrate today’s launch of Liz Ianelli’s new book called “I See You, Survivor: Life Inside (and Outside) the Totally F*cked-Up Troubled Teen Industry.” In it, Liz details her years left at a program within the Troubled Teen Industry, a network of expensive residential programs, wilderness camps, and religious-affiliated establishments meant to set your child straight.
Join us as we discuss Liz’s time in one of these programs, how she relates it to a cult, the abuses she and her friends endured, and the struggles kids who live through this experience have after leaving.
Liz has been an outspoken activist against the Troubled Teen Industry for many years, arguing that the programs should be shut down or, at the least, held accountable for their practices.
This special episode is now available wherever you get your podcasts.
