DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to join another special Liberati community group session led by Dr. Ryan Lee on Sunday\, February 22nd at 1 pm Eastern / 10 am Pacific (18:00 in London\, 20:00 in Cape Town).\nRyan Lee is a doctor of clinical psychology with over a decade of experience as a practicing therapist and specialized expertise in religious trauma\, cult recovery\, and life transition support — especially for those leaving high-control religions.

It offers real-world insights and encouragement for anyone in the process of waking up\, walking out\, and moving on.\nWe look forward to an engaging\, insightful\, and practical session together!
