Therapist C.A. Larson defines a high-demand religion as "a religious group that exerts significant control over its members' beliefs, behaviors, and daily lives. These groups often require strict adherence to doctrine, discourage independent thinking, and use social, psychological, or spiritual pressure to maintain compliance." In Episode 218, C.A. joins Susan and Cynthia for an exploration of high-demand religions and the impact they can have on their members' mental and spiritual health. Though individual experiences will vary, this discussion zooms out to highlight the significant overlap between characteristics of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other churches that fit the high-demand criteria.
