It has been in my mind for a while that I wanted to write a series of posts addressing the basic principles of mind control programming. These would address some of the foundations on which programming is based and some of the myths I am aware of regarding how programming works, with the intention of providing some useful general information for those who wish to address any mind control programming in their own worlds.
Life has kept me away from the blog for a few months, but now that I have some free space in my head, I am getting my series underway.
Although there are many groups who use mind control techniques, and each of them have their own unique programming focus, designed to suit their own goals and group philosophy, there are still certain basic principles of programming which apply across the board. No matter the group to which your abusers belonged, no matter the relative level at which they were able to employ mind control techniques, no matter the jobs for which your group was created and trained – these basic principles will still be applicable.
Topics so far on the list are:
- the foundational roots of programming
- internal programmers
- the myth of self-maintaining programming
- factors that contribute to keeping programming in place
Should any reader wish to see a specific addition to the list of topics, I would accept suggestions.
Hey RockerGirl,
I am thrilled to see that you are able to get back to this blog and that you are starting a new series on Mind Control Programming Basics. I think this information is so incredibly important and heaven knows, there are next-to-no resources out there that can truly explain how programming works. If survivors don’t understand how they were / are vulnerable to mind control, they won’t know how to undo their mind control. And, being free from the effects of mind control is enormously important for the overall safety and healing of many dissociative survivors.
Thank you for sharing your understanding of such a delicate but powerful subject.
I am glad to see that there are people out there willing to fight back against the ways predators use this information against their victims.
Knowledge is power — and you, my dear, are very knowledgeable, and thus can help a whole lot of people to regain power of their own lives.
Thank you!
And please keep posting!

Hey Kathy –
Thanks for the comment and the props.
Next to no resources is right! Don’t know how much this is helping, but we can only do as much as we can, so we’re putting it out there anyway.
Healing and safety are possible!
