The Journey of Megan McGowan - A Xenos Survivor
Episode notes
Our brief and unplanned hiatus ends with this new episode, the longest we've ever produced out of an interview with former Xenos/Dwell member Megan McGowan. This is a powerful, disturbing yet ultimately liberating sharing she provides as she details her search for God and meaning , even as she struggled with great personal pain and clinical depression during her four years of intense activity within the cult. Thinking her hours of devotion there would help her find refuge and acceptance, her tragic dive into Xenos' Orwellian social circles provides enormous insight into the destructive authoritarianism casually yet firmly wielded by it. *** WARNING: Explicit testimony and descriptions of sexual assault can be triggering to abuse survivors ***
