Thank you for sharing your story Glenn. 😍
Same as you with the frozen part and i am a gay man who was molested by a doctor at 10 years old! It robbed me of my self esteem, unable to have a relationship, major alcohol problem , depression , anxiety, unable to make a decision, always on my guard! I tried to heal but could not !
You can heal! Please don't stop trying. You deserve everything you have been missing in your life. It took me forever, but I finally did it.
Wishing you peace and healing. Don't think you have to do it alone; you probably can't.
Please don’t give up. Forgiveness is key. Forgive the messed up perpetrator and forgive yourself. Everyone is born with fallen nature. We can be born again to newness of life through faith in Jesus Christ. He conquered all evil and is returning to set in motion a new world under his loving guidance. Pray and let his love heal all the wounds and pain. ❤
Psychological damage can be long lasting. I was in a cult as a teenager and young adult and left in 1974 and it still affects me to this day at age 71. In surprising ways. You loose a sense of self confidence that almost never totally comes back to you.
C.O.B.U. ??
@@SerendipityNJ Not really sure what C.O.B.U. is? The cult I was involved with as a teenager/young adult was based surprisingly out of NYC (Manhattan).
@@roberthurley6860 Church of Bible Understanding (COBU) - your name looks familiar to me - and COBU was out of NYC as well, it was also called The Forever Family - I have some experience with these groups.
@@roberthurley6860 COBU - Church of Bible Understanding or other name was "Forever Family"
I can relate to this. Brutal. You can see and feel the pain in her body language!
I can relate to being emotionally and physically abused as a young child which greatly affected my marriage ending in divorce.
Now in a 15 year relationship at 73 she and I both share this bond and we get along wonderfully
The teeth and the footposition.
I wasn’t in a cult but a family cult, I relate to not knowing yourself and being in a state of freeze or fawn in adulthood. I tried to confront my parents but I got scapegoated and eventually I was dead to them
Same. I remember the frozen state from the time I was maybe 3. I have used it throughout my life when I'm in a very awful place of fear, threat and confrontation with bully. That usually was an abusive husband. I'm out now. Still trying to cope differently. It's a lotta work.
GOD BLESS YOU!!
fiona, I am *so* sorry. I had to stop all communication with my family, so I understand. Please look for resources which can help you. You have the right to feel good about yourself.
@@cheriem432 thank you it’s a tough one for sure. If you can recommend any resources that would be appreciated
I shall pray for you.@@50pinkies67
Thank you, Ms. Close. It is so important that people with such prestige and talent, admired by the world, tell stories the rest of us more ordinary folk can identify with, whatever ways we have been wounded.
I never knew she was raised in a cult... no wonder she's such a good actress. You HAVE to learn to lie, just to survive.
Acting isn’t lying. Acting is finding resources within yourself to use in creating characters.
@@63artemisia63 ... and then using those resources to create a character in a situation that is not real, has no basis in reality and uses stagecraft and special effects to make it SEEM REAL.
I.E., LYING.
Or did Glenn Close really boil a bunny alive in "Fatal Attraction"?
Did we really have a worldwide nuclear holocaust in "Dr. Strangelove"?
Gee, thanks for that newsflash, I didn't know we were all actually dead and in Hell. Explains a lot.
@@63artemisia63 Kurt Vonnegut and James Edmondson, director of the Ashland Shakespeare Festival described acting as "a lie that tells a higher truth." So acting may be for a noble purpose, but it's still a form of lying, dissembly, fabrication, confabulation.
The purpose is irrelevant.
@svlsrv0010 Yeah, he had to have based his characterization on SOMETHING or SOMETHING, you can't just pull it out of your ass. It's gotta be based on life, and reality, even if it's really warped and altered.
True actors and true comédiens they don’t lie, they are the opposite, brutally authentic and honest. Of course there are so many narcissist everywhere that u can’t tell anymore who’s authentic and not but acting is connection to the truth of being deeply humain (that’s why the vilains are played so well by great actors) so being great as a humain can be and being fully vulnerable as we we must be if we want to be authentic, even if you’re not a actor or you’re not acting.
It’s the paradoxe of acting. It a try to reproduce life in all its deeps and layers.
Amazing Lady!!! ❤️
I love Glenn close ,she’d be an amazing person to know. I’m glad she left the cult and became an actress because we’ve all be entertained by her incredible talent ,hugs sweety xox
We wait until children are old enough to drive, to vote, to serve in the military, until they're mature enough to understand the implications. Why should inculcation of children into ideologies be an exception?
I agree.
I agree & cults are soul damaging by design
I hope she can find peace.
What many don’t realize is that the coping mechanisms are flight, fight or FREEZE. Freeze is what I do when I’m attacked today in my 70s, after 18+ years of childhood trauma.
Cult survivor 1989-1997. It never leaves you. Well, it was a long time ago. Let's live for today.
Glenn, thank you for sharimg this challenging part of your story. I can relate directly to portions of your narrative. The right Professional specialization is important, indeed; & we do heal. Much kindness to you.
I had no idea!! How sad.
She's an amazing woman.
Woman....
@@tshireletsokhumalo yes LOL
They look male
Great performer, I love how protective she was with Yalitza ❤
Sorry, Glenn. Same here. From the crib to age 23. Took me decades to remake myself into an autonomous creature.
Oh Glenn here’s what I want to say to you … Our past childhood Traumas do Not Have to control us … These experiences remain live within us because we’ve not been able to heal … This I speak from experience … Heal your Heart … Empower your Life … Emotional tool box everyone should have one … The person you need to fall in love with and have a relationship with is YOU … 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is so relevant right now in the US, with 1/3 of the population hopelessly brainwashed by Trump’s MAGA cult.
I met her at a hotel I worked at during 'Sunset Blvd.' She is so super nice and has two of the cutest little doggies.
Poor Glenn Close. She didn’t even realize how it affected her whole life until the past 5 years? Well, at least she finally did and received trauma therapy. That’s horrible. Good for her, for getting help. It will always be a work in progress just like complex trauma is for the thousands of people who suffer from it and are aware they do. There are most likely millions who have it but just don’t know it or are (and understandably so) in denial. It’s really sad. She is a great actress, too.
My mom was friends with her aunt- i wonder if the aunt knew. She was so proud of her niece.
I love Glenn Close. She is an amazing human and one of the most incredible actors.
Oh Glenn, thank you for this.
What people do with that Bible Can be So evil. 😊❤
@@stephanierevell8050 Um what? That was a very clear accurate comment.
@@carolan3269
Yes! That too!
We dont know what cult she was in. No Bible may have been a part…could have been Scientology, Moonies or countless others.
Everyone's got a story.😂
That feeling of waking up every day w a belly full of fear. Ughh.
Glenn Close scares the shit out of me
Explore why you feel this way. You might discover you fund admiration. Or respect. Or something else you’d like to explore within yourself.
I wish there were dating sites for adults with CPTSD or something.
01:48 there you go folks…NO MEN IN GIRLS LOCKER ROOMS
I understand. Powerful words.
Sounds like religion!
How horrible
So that's how she became Cruella
Once again the word “informed”…. Fashion speak that has ruined the English language. It probably influenced her not informed her.
Poor woman
Is that Henry Rollins?
Shame on your parents.
Glenn close looks like Mrs doubt fire
They are the same person. No joke. Robin Williams plays the character of Glenn Close.
With all due respect, there's no point living in the past. It doesn't exist.
Some people has the ability to let trauma behind. Some doesn’t. And we the rest have to understand and be compassionate and helpful
If it doesn't exist then how is she able to speak about it ?
@afriend621 Rehashing memories. When we continue to recall trauma, it continues to have a negative impact on us physically, mentally, and emotionally. We relive the memories of the past, and like in this case, it has a negative effect on present relationships.
Childhood trauma changes your brain and personality. They are living in the present with an altered brain. Blocking out the past only keeps you from understanding the present.
@@manichairdo9265 It must be wonderful to be so well adjusted and free of your past.
It’s so obvious she’s a man ! And Andy’s red string bracelet = Kabbalah bracelet
Hmmmm. The Moral Re Armament group she grew up in is mysterious. They rectuited at Princeton and Oxford. I dont know what they taught.
Yes this is a man and he went straight into Hollyweird illuminati
How is she a man and what’s wrong with the bracelet?
she's literally a cis woman
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
With a face like that I bet they did all kinds..
