NXIVM Survivor, Naomi Gibson tells us her thoughts on Raniere's 120 Year Sentencing

We reached out to Naomi Gibson, who's featured in Seduced Inside the NXIVM Cult Documentary and asked her feelings about Keith Raniere's 120 year sentence.

"Keith Raniere's 120 year sentence, sets the precedent for anyone who thinks they can abuse men, women and children. Keith Raniere knowingly and systematically used his power over others, this is coercive control, this is abuse of power. Today justice does not erase the scars the victims carry, but it helps echo our voices so that this type of manipulation, coercion and misogyny will no longer be tolerated." Naomi Gibson

"NEW YORK - The leader of NXIVM, a purported self-help organization that engaged in international multilevel marketing, has been sentenced to 120 years in prison for running a sex trafficking ring through a secret women's sub-sect of the controversial Albany based group."

Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult | Official Trailer | STARZ

For the past year we have been collaborating with the Starz TV network on their Documentary - SEDUCED: Inside the NXIVM Cult, which premiers tonight, Sunday October 18th, 2020 at 9 p.m est on the Starz TV Network.



As a result of our collaboration, for the past year we've been facilitating professional therapy for many survivors of the NXIVM trafficking and cult ring.



Here is a word from the producers of the documentary:



"It's been wonderful to see your collaboration with STARZ growing, and to have our network acknowledging how much our partnership with you has helped the NXIVM survivors who are featured in the series. The help provided through F.A.C.T. has had an immeasurable impact, particularly with the series about to air and feelings coming up for the former members. Thank you so much for honoring us with our working relationship. We so appreciate that we could put this in place with you, and make it function as well as it has. Congratulations also on the work you're doing with the Epstein victims, and with everyone you help".



On average we receive about 25 calls a week from survivors of trafficking and cult rings looking for assistance in healing and getting their lives back on track. Please consider helping survivors through one of our therapeutic programs; Art Therapy, Bibliotherapy or Professional Therapy. For more information on these therapeutic programs for survivors visit FACT.Charity

Thank you to all who help us in our mission here at F.A.C.T., the workload is endless and we can not do what we do without the help of the community.



Sincerely,

The F.A.C.T. Team

Interview "The Vow" - NXIVM

"What do an heiress, an actress and the Dalai Lama have in common? A charismatic, but problematic, self-proclaimed self-help guru named Keith Raniere. As the founder of NXIVM, a marketing organization focused chiefly on self-help seminars, he was arrested for sexual abuse, and his organization was designated a cult. A new HBO docuseries, “The Vow,” examines the rise and fall of NXIVM. Directors Jehane Noujaim and Karim Amer join us to discuss"

Launching New Programs & Website

 

Dear F.A.C.T. Supporter, Over the past year F.A.C.T. has been helping survivors of the NXIVM trafficking and cult ring as well as survivors of Jeffrey Epstein to directly receive professional counseling. These predatory groups wreak havoc on individuals lives and we understand how important it is to receive therapy after surviving such exploitation and trauma.. Which is why we are launching our New Website and Programs, focused primarily on recovery through practical, affordable therapy options for victims. Our approach is threefold:

Empower: By offering a wide range of programs, we help the powerless to become empowered. No longer will they be the victim of a crazy sociopath or narcissist! Most victims can not afford professional therapy which runs upwards of $200 per hour. This is why we are introducing Bibliotherapy as part of our new programs. The Goals of Bibliotherapy are to help individuals express feelings and gain insight. It is a practical way to realize what has happened to a victim. By reading other stories that are similar to their own, the reader begins to realize they're not alone. This usually helps a person to understand their victimization depending on the severity of trauma. Bibliotherapy can help in healing traumas, suicide prevention and so much more.

Educate: Only through learning how these people coerce, deceive, and control others will you become a shield of armor for yourself and others to their deceptive tactics. Knowing the red flags ahead of time can keep you and your loved ones out of the emotional and sometimes deadly grip of the narcissist. Prevention: By empowering those who have been stung by a sociopathic person or group, and educating them as well as others, can we prevent them from placing the leash on themselves and others. Bibliotherapy is also great for non-victims. By reading and seeing other peoples stories, we become aware of possible problems with certain groups, churches, or even individuals (think Bill Cosby). Prevention is a top priority. We want to educate the world on these abusive tactics, lies and manipulation these personalities use to take over and control people so that it never happens to another single soul!

Art therapy is also used in this threefold process, especially for younger kids. Your donations help us provide these materials to people who need them now. Check out the New site here!

"You can do something big or you can do something small. Because whatever you do is Better than nothing at all" We have a long list of survivors who are asking for our help. Please help us, help them. We can not continue our work and implement these much needed New Programs without your valuable help and donations.

Sincerely, The F.A.C.T., Inc. Team F.A.C.T. Inc
