Brainwashing has been in practice for centuries. Enemies have used it against each other, politicians have used it to gain votes and acceptance, manufacturers have used it to hawk their wares. No matter where a person turns they are being bombarded with mind control techniques. When does brainwashing  turn from simple persuasion to ultimate control over a person? That is simple, when the person or organization doing to brainwashing use it to completely alter a person's mind to where there are not individual thoughts.

How are You Brainwashed
How can a person allow themselves to be brainwashed? There are many different ways that a person is brainwashed. The easiest is to separate the individual from all that is familiar and safe. The cults or sects will use this method as it ensures that the person becomes completely dependent the cult for all their basic needs and later on, their desires. The brain-washers will use lies, deceit, generalizations to gloss over the truth and exploitation to take control of their victims.

Who is Most Vulnerable to Brainwashing
People from every kind of background are susceptible to becoming brainwashed. There are all kinds of people whose educational levels vary as well as their careers who have fallen victim to mind control. Those who are the most likely to fall under the spell are those who are going through difficulties within their lives and are feeling vulnerable and insecure. Those who would be easiest to brainwash are recently divorced, widowed or lost a loved one, suffering from an illness, recently lost their job, or are away from home for the first time.

Protect Yourself from Brainwashing
People are able to protect themselves from becoming a brainwashing victim. First and foremost, stay educated and understand the issue completely from all sides. In other words, stay logical and do not be emotional when reviewing the entire issue. Always use discernment. This will allow for being selective and able to reason through the facts and falsehoods being presented. Always be a fact checker. Never rely on information being given as accurate. Do not be afraid to stand against the crowd. Sometimes, just because something is popular does not mean it is right.

How to Deprogram a Brainwashed Person
Positive reinforcement is a step toward deprogramming a person who has been brainwashed. A person's self esteem is battered when they are brainwashed into a cult or sect. It takes building that person back up for them to feel they have the ability to think for themselves again. Encourage individualism through not just thoughts but also through dress and style. This will enable to person to start feeling like a unique individual again instead of a minion of a larger entity. Seek professional help from a clinical psychologist. Also, seek aid from organizations that have experience in dealing with brainwashed people.
