Growing Up In A Cult - Vennie Kocsis

Vennie Kocsis spent her life from 3 until 14 living in a compound as a member of a cult. Struggling with segregation from the rest of the world on the outside, but also separation from her family on the inside; she lived a life that was always filtered through fear.

You wouldn't think so listening to her today but she didn't learn about normal relationships, normal friendships and normal boundaries until she got out. In fact she didn't have any degree of a normal education either and was thrust into this in her mid teens needing to adapt very quickly.

Nowadays she is an author, a speaker, a poet, a mother and a grandmother. She works with people to help them heal their trauma through art, poetry and expression and shares her experiences so that others may be able to escape or avoid in the first place the entrapments of a cult.
