Description

Ever wonder why people in AA get defensive — even when you’re calm and factual? 🤔

Turns out, there’s a neurological reason behind it.

In this clip from a LIVE Deprogram Q+A inside the Deprogram Lounge, we dive into the science of amygdala hijack, nervous system activation, and why cultic ideologies trigger emotional, not rational, responses.

If you’ve experienced backlash for speaking your truth about AA, this one’s for you.
