Former Yes We Can Clinic Patients - Cult-like Programme - Netherlands

I survived what I believe was a cult-like programme: the truth about Yes We Can Youth Clinics I was a child when I was sent to Yes We Can Youth Clinics in the Netherlands. I thought I was going there to get better. Ten weeks later, I came out believing they had saved my life. I defended them. I repeated their language. I believed in the programme so completely that I could not see what had happened to me. Now, years later, I believe I was brainwashed. From the moment I arrived, control was everywhere. My phone was taken. My passport was taken. My money was taken. For ten weeks, I was cut off from my family. When I was eventually allowed phone calls, they were monitored. Even speaking required permission. If I wanted to say something in a group, I had to put my arm out and wait until I was allowed to talk. I was pressured to reveal deeply private details about my trauma, my sex life and my past in front of other people. I was sexually humiliated in public. I was blamed for being raped. I was taken off all my medication. My mental health deteriorated badly. And then something even more frightening happened. I started becoming part of it. I learned the language. I used it on other patients. I confronted people. I shamed people who were struggling. I believed that crying could be self-pity, that disagreement could be manipulation, that distress could be attention-seeking. At the time, I thought I was helping them. That is one of the hardest things for me to live with. Then, near the end of my stay, everything changed. The criticism softened. I was praised. I was given privileges. I was made to feel special. Chosen. Successful. Looking back, I believe this was love bombing. By the time I left, they barely needed to convince me of anything anymore. I was doing it for them. I defended the clinic. I spoke about it like it had rescued me. Other former patients returned to promote it. Some even got Yes We Can tattoos.. Because the most disturbing part was not that I was forced to defend them. It was that, once I left, nobody had to force me at all. I did it willingly. It took me years to understand that the person who walked out of that clinic was not the same person who had walked in. And it took even longer to question why. If you attended Yes We Can Youth Clinics, worked there, or had a family member who went through the programme, I want to hear from you. You can remain anonymous. You do not have to defend what happened to you. You do not have to minimise it. And you do not have to tell your story alone. [email redacted]

Celebrities & Semi-Well-Known Figures - National Newspaper Slots

What I'm looking for from PRs right now... I thought it might be helpful to outline what I'd like to see in my (email) inbox from PRs, organisations and business owners. And on the flipside, what I can offer you. What I'm looking for: + More celebrities/well-known people to interview for regular slots in national newspapers. (I need people who are well-known (or semi well-known) to the average person). + Tech/human rights/sustainability/travel/environment stories in/around Mexico City. Tip: Don't just email me about an organisation. Tell me what the story is. + From July: Sustainability-focused stories from outside of the regions I'm reporting on. These need to be feature ideas (I don't cover press releases - unsure what I mean? Come along to one of my workshops or check out my portfolio page on my website). + From July: Regular or ad hoc work involving interviewing and writing up case studies. Have any other content work? Drop me a DM. + Travel and sustainability stories from the Netherlands (pitches from June). I am planning to be there in October/November. (I will be looking for a place to stay, ideally around Oud West, so shout if you know anywhere). + Hosting opportunities: Moderating panels, hosting fireside interviews and round-table opportunities from July '26. Can be abroad as long as it doesn't involve flying (I love a train journey, though) as I can't justify a flight (for environmental reasons) for a panel discussion. Last year I hosted the fireside chat interview at Semrush's conference in Amsterdam (pictured) while I was already there for a six-week stint. There's a blush-worthy testimonial from the organisers on my LinkedIn profile. What I can offer: + Help bolstering your press coverage and relationships with journalists via my popular How to Secure Media Coverage workshop, which thousands of PRs and business owners have attended. The next sessions are in Newcastle, Manchester, London and Zoom from June. I am also available for private sessions, in-person and online. There's also an online course packed with loads of resources and templates. Testimonials all over my website. Links below. + Power Hours with me or another specialist hack in my journalist content agency. Want to pick a journalist's brains on how to improve a pitch? Like to drum up story ideas? Have a journalist write a knock-out thought leadership post? More details below but you can also DM me. + A free bi-monthly newsletter offering insider intel on working as a journalist, PR tips, and industry news. Join thousands of readers by subscribing via the link below. + And if anyone is looking for a seaside break, I rent out my loft apartment in Margate (two mins from the sea/Turner etc) when I'm not there. DM for details. Picture: Me on stage interviewing Andrey Khusid, chief executive of Miro at Semrush's conference last year. #journalism #PR #media
