Cults, undue influence, brainwashing

Resources on Undue Influence and Brainwashing

This site is dedicated to understanding and addressing cults, undue influence, and brainwashing. We explain how manipulative groups recruit and control members, share practical resources for people affected and their families, and highlight evidence‑based approaches to recovery and prevention. If our work helps you, please consider supporting us so we can continue providing clear information, referrals, and community support. Thank you for reading and for helping create a safer, better‑informed public.

Clarification of Name Association

Although others may share my surname – Pavlík in Slovak republic. I have no family ties, business relationships, or formal association with them. Any actions, statements, or services by people with the same surname are theirs alone. I do not represent their views or activities and they do not represent mine.

Disclaimer: No Association with the Church of Scientology

I am not related to, affiliated with, or an endorser of the Church of Scientology or its teachings, and I am not by name or in any other way associated with any person who is a member of that Church, including anyone who shares my surname (Pavlík/Pavlíková). I have no business, professional, family, or other ties to the Church or to its members.

Statement on Family Separation and Ongoing Matters

My sister has chosen to separate from our family for religious reasons. Child Protection Services (ÚPSVaR – Oddelenie sociálnoprávnej ochrany detí a sociálnej kurately, Rimavská Sobota) is currently involved with her child. There is an ongoing police/criminal matter related to recent reports; because it is active I will not comment further.

Disclaimer: Independent, Privately Funded Initiative

A single cult expert cannot alone meet the threats and obstacles that arise in anti‑cult work. Effective prevention, support, and investigation require multidisciplinary teams, sustained resources, and coordinated cooperation with social services, legal authorities, mental‑health professionals, and community organisations. This project is independently run and operates solely on private funding. We do not receive government, institutional, or corporate funding. Because of the sensitive and sometimes risky nature of this work, we focus on careful, evidence‑based approaches and refer serious cases to the appropriate authorities and licensed professionals.

Resisting Totalism Requires Vigilance and Independence

Today’s political jobs often attract actors with polished slogans but little interest in pluralism; what begins as reform can morph into a new form of totalism dressed up as efficiency. This site’s take is blunt and practical: resisting totalism requires more than outrage or a single expert. It needs skeptical citizens, independent media, civic institutions that refuse shortcuts, and sustained vigilance. If you like what we do, support our independent work — we operate only on private donations and publish transparent accounts of how funds are used.

Yes, brainwashing does exist

Wishing you the very best — may your experience with us be positive, clear, and helpful. Stay well informed, and may you avoid cultic influence and undue pressure in employment, spiritual groups, and personal relationships.
