The Untold Story of the Cult at Sarah Lawrence College - Pt 2 with Felicia Rosario | Season 2: Ep 21

So refreshing to see a trained professional admit that being manipulated and drawn into an unhealthy relationship has nothing to do with education or IQ. Hopefully this will be seen by hundreds who need to know that falling for someone like Larry is no reflection on the "victim". Thank you for this very important message!

I’m crying right now relating to Felicia’s story. The sexual manipulation, gaslighting and the whole YOU CANT WIN dynamic of it all is my story. I thought it was only me. The shame and humiliation has been unbearable. Felicia, if your dream is to help people, you have accomplished that by telling your story. Just knowing someone else has gone through such a harrowing and sexually exploitative experience and come out the other side, gives me hope and lessens my shame. Thank you Dr. Ramani. I can’t tell you how much I love you and that you have saved my life!

So they destroy you and then rescue you on many levels,the shit load of deception is mind boggling.😢🤬

Never have you had an episode that resonated so much. I was so triggered I had to go to the bathroom and cry. THIS is the episode that set me free.😭💕 Felicia isn't board certified but she is healing scores of people!!

Oh God. This is my husband... Although not that horrible. But this is MY HUSBAND.... Yes. Thank you Dr. Ramani. I desperately needed a real life example to stop gas lighting my self. Thank you Felicia for having the courage to come and show the light..... God bless you both.

Dr, Ramani is so articulate when sharing her knowledge and perspectives. It has a powerful effect.

This is an astounding interview.. These abusers choose intelligent people because they are a challenge. It's no fun tricking stupid people.

As a woman and medical professional this is so difficult to hear 😢 the fact that this type of evil is out there makes me cling to my faith even tighter 🙏 God bless this woman and Dr. R let’s all learn together and help protect each other from these evil ones.

When I was accepted to office administration program, my husband was making fun of me and saying everyone that I decided to become a secretary.He was jealous and competing with me.A loving person never does that.

So glad you have Felicia Rosario here. I am very impressed to see that she had made such progress in her recovery from that psychopath. I hope we can get to call her Dr Rosario soon. Sending Warmest Regards and Hugs to both of you. You go Felicia ! We will be supporting and cheering you all the way back to higher and higher levels !

Thank you, Felicia. I had therapy today, and your story helped me finally make sense of my childhood trauma. Blessed be!

Wow! I agree with the point about murder, but I've never heard anyone else voice it. My son died from an accidental overdose and I have always felt that his father who was diagnosed with ASPD killed him. Fifteen years earlier I had a heart attack and felt at that time that he was killing me. In my case the relationships with family were lost forever. My mother died a couple of years ago and my son and I weren't at her memorial service but my sociopathic ex husband was. That is a pain that is renewed over and again. My niece and Goddaughter is getting married this weekend and I won't be there either. It is very sad and no one understands what happened. I attempted to talk to my niece about it but I also know that she can't really afford to believe me.

A powerful and brave woman Felicia Rosario! I learned so much from you in this sharing of your story..I also have been through this type of erosion of my self. I can deeply empathise with you. I wish you the best healing possible. Thank you Dr Ramani for using this as a teaching tool so others can get informed educated and perhaps saved from getting involved with harmful people.

This story is so reminiscent of what R Kelly did to all of those girls, some of whom are still defending him to this day!

Felicia, you will be a Wonderful Doctor when it is right for you. I wish you the best! Thank you for sharing and staying alive!

When she spoke about how he would say to her "Why don't you do that!", it hit me! When the Narc repeatedly asked for 'steamy' photos and I didn't want to send any, he mentioned that his friend's wife does that (sends photos to her husband). I did not care about what his friend's wife does but the Narc probably thought that would get to me. THANK YOU Felicia for telling your story! YOU and Dr. Ramani are helping others!

“It is a form of committing murder. And it is a way of committing murder that he will get away with. Coerced suicide, to me, is a murder. It is. As far as I’m concerned it’s a homicide. No way any court in any land will ever see that.”

I can relate so much to the “make it stop” scenario. My ex insisted that Chubaca was a real being..I kept asking why we didn’t know who played him in Star Wars…he made fun of me…yelled at me..until I couldn’t take it anymore and I started to cry and I said “Fine! Chubaca plays himself in the movie!” This sounds ridiculous, but he was relentless. Insane making behavior.

The way you break this down is so helpful. I recently got into a whirlwind relationship and was married after only 7 months of knowing each other. I'm looking back and shaking my head because it was full of subtle manipulation and abuse that escalated after the wedding and now we are seperated and I've gone no contact. I have felt so embarrassed and stupid for it. I have withdrawn from my supports and developed anxiety and PTSD and flashbacks now. I am struggling to be kind to myself and reconnect with my people. But your explanations are easing the internal burdens and helping me see myself in a kinder light.

I see so many similarities btwn Larry and my child's father. He often utilized similar coercive control tactics and it was terrifying watching so many fall under his 'spell'
