TEAL SWAN'S FORMER FOLLOWERS BEGIN TO SHARE THEIR STORIES | The Deep End Episode Two

[@themaddiecommittee]

If you struggle with wanting to end your life, just know I see you and understand your pain. I feel that pain as well. You are stronger than temporary emotions. Life will continue to go on and things will not be the same forever. Sending you love and strength. ❤

Her saying "there is no chill" is super culty. It's a standard cult practice to keep people too busy to question things.

[@kath2546]

love the hair b! i watched the documentary series a while back when it first came out and i’m excited to see your reactions to everything that happens. it’s so wild that the documentary crew was able to capture what they did.

[@stacey_1111rh]

Hello there B. I’m a former follower of hers. Thank you for intelligently and critically looking at this. I got close enough in the 7 years I followed her work to see the flags pop up eventually and was able to see myself out of the crazy town thing of that which it was/is. There’s a lot more I can say, a lot of things I saw and know, alot of which occurred online in her “teal tribe” group which no longer exists in Facebook. I will say this, I never became part of her inner circle but got to know enough people who were closer to her at that time. I put alot of info together. I started to question more and more and then I did a lot of research on her and found the patterns and figured out how she is doing all of this. Some of her work helped but I also was negatively affected. She’s not safe. she’s helped people and also damaged alot of people. I got really serious about her work, I mean I was all in and it really helped but some things just didn’t add up, which is fine but when red flags start to appear that’s a whole different story at that point. Her suicide video she’s caused so much controversy over was the first thing that truly bothered m, I found more things out that were shady. Like a art piece she put up for sale that was proven to be ripped of from some cartoon show, she put a symbol from the necronomicon in one of her art pieces signed by her which I thought was also shady and creepy, there are so many people now who have made videos coming forward on KZbin that had bad experiences. I am thankful it’s happening. I used to think she was the next best thing to ever happen at one point in my life strangely. But to continue there was some questionable plagarastsic parts in some of her older videos that she seemed to potentially have borrowed from Wikipedia , and this was way back in the mid 2010s, all this obviously raised my suspicion levels. I am thankful more and more people are speaking up and out about her.The podcast that exposes a lot that’s available on the internet was the thing that really blew it wide open for me once I found it a year back. Now this Hulu doc. You did a great job with this video. Best wishes. Subed and liked. ✌🏼

[@Saints_ravenfortheRainbow]

She's Astral projected into my house. I had been raped before by someone unseen years ago. People playing astrally and trying to hide. I had caught a group doing some Astral ritual in my room over my bed. I figured she was helping but her and others if I don't do something they want I get tourtured. A guy, well a few had been doing it before her so I just got angry. Jesus gives us power live and a sound mind. He's not telling people to Astral project and cause confusion to someone that was approached astrally violently.

We use sage in Europe and have been for ages. It is also part of Slavic folklore. It might be a different type of sage though

[@ingsky]

I used to watch her probably about 6 years ago. Then I just did a 180 and stopped watching it reading any of these self help. It seems a bit culty. The only person who is going to save your life is you.

Sage that is rare is the kind that is pre grown, pre dried and sold in metaphysical shops. The kind that is not rare is the kind you grow and dry yourself. Ppl who say its rare are not growing it themselves.

[@Dippmip]

Historians at the Cloisters Museum note that Medieval Europeans continued to use sage in their medicinal practices. According to “The Oxford Companion to Food,” by the 16th century, the use of sage had extended considerably from pharmacists' shelves to kitchens throughout Europe.

[@kendalbrenneman]

You can just grow sage and dry it. I have sage. Is it endangered or something?

[@BHaney]

I think growing it for yourself is a great idea. I was more so talking about people who buy sage because the increase in demand for it (particularly white sage) is causing some big problems regarding deforestation.

[@dottyroads46]

@@BHaney white sage is considered "closed practice " normal garden sage is fine for everyone

[@kendalbrenneman]

@@BHaney Wow, never thought sage would be one of those things there would be deforestation issues with. I suppose that's probably the case with a lot of things, sadly...

Ooooh that would be interesting! I might have to do that 👀

[@bipOlArPlusMe]

Omg- those are weird. Yes please do commentary on those. Gold!

[@wombatnumbat989]

We've grown sage in our gardens for year - mostly used for cooking, but my daughter also dries it in bundles and uses it for burning. It is a different kind of sage that is used for indigenous ceremonies which is specific and rare. For most regular people, garden sage can be used in the same way. And it grows like weeds - can take over an herb garden if left alone!

[@badger313]

Exactly... To say you can't use sage at all is just misinformation

[@Travelling_with_my_dog]

at least Amir was being honest about being attracted to her; in therapy, it's called "transference," and a therapist would ABSOLUTELY have serious conversations with the client about boundaries.

[@Axe_Slinger]

It's also quite common because this therapist is helping you find yourself clinically but to a "broken" patient grows an emotional attachment. This makes them experienced in handling it because it's known to the Educators and current Specialists so they prepare their students to face it in their practice! It can get VERY INTENSE so she has no idea what she SHOULD do in this fragile situation. Her being attractive brings a new level of complexity- and she LOVES attention!

[@stop_and_smell_the_roses]

@52:25 the investigator was paid for by a few in her group, so I suspect the investigator thought, shit, I didn't want to know this info, as it becomes a conflict of financial interest with the supporters who hired her. I just watched The Rewired Souls interview with the docu creators, so I'm looking forward to you doing shows on Teal's responses. I was one of those people who long ago tried to alert people of the psyche shitshow that I saw coming from Teal. It's good that more are seeing the truth.

[@heathergraham2581]

I have to respectfully disagree regarding the sage. I understand that indigenous cultures have used it themselves but nobody has "ownership" over this nor should anybody try to issue dictates or demands over others using it. Sorry, but that sounds too much like the recent "appropriation" obsession that has gotten out of hand to the point where people are even trying to claim certain hairstyles belonging to only one people, like braiding, any braids. The planet produces this sage and many other things, which while we should definitely use moderation and look for balance in the use of anything, I'm not of the mindset that any group of people should be demanding ownership claims to anything natural or of the earth. Yes, I know its done anyway but look at the historical consequences alone this has caused with the claiming of lands and eradicating any people who stood in the way of having it Various peoples using sage is not a threat to any indigenous culture still using it. Especially if growing their own.

[@vibrationaltonic9560]

Sage is not a limited resource 😂😂😂 smudge away

[@DrLauraRPalmer]

I use to go to back for Teal in the comments in defense of her work because it was so profound to me… But after listening to her childhood friend who grew up with her as well as her ex, … their testimonies were so riveting… they just didn’t feel like lies to me. Though I believe in some of the work that she does, everything they shared about Teal finally made me see her for what she is… when you put it all together, it’s a clear sign that she is beyond a narcissist.… that a he is so much more dangerous than a narcissist, she is a psychopath. She is absolutely a cult leader in the heart…those are the only types that become cult leaders … Psychopaths. She’s just so mentally advanced she can twist truth and lies together very quickly right in your face that you just give her the benefit of the doubt. But she’s always had that creepy demonic laugh, and I didn’t think that laugh came from just anywhere. The laugh was very telling, but I just never knew what to make of it. It was just something about the devious nature behind such a creepy laugh that always stuck out to me. She was laughing at the BS she was feeding everyone clearly. I feel, watching her think that she is the highest denominator, hearing the type of trouble and the kind of pathological liar she was as a child, then hearing the things that she says and does to people behind cameras I am convinced she’s stepped into the spectrum of a psychotic. We just don’t get a full picture of what psychotics are bc we have one vision of them. But in reality they act just like Teal. Exact. They can appear so normal. Extremely intelligent in many ways… overtly calm. A creepy calm that you start to feel is a mask at some point. The only way you would ever know that they could be a psycho is the testimonies of people who have spent private time with them as a child and or as an adult. Once you gather all the testimonies from both eras of a persons life, if you have discernment and the ability to see psychosomatic tendencies, you can see the pathology in someone. And I feel she has the mechanics to be very dangerous. I also found it very interesting that she would tell her friends all sorts of trumped up stories as a teen, and then demand that they don’t mention a word of it once they got around the rest of the family. The fact that no one could mention anything that she talked about clearly was a blatant sign that she’s a pathological liar. I guess she could be doing worse things out here, so she’s not really a problem in my opinion. She’s just a egotistical narcissistic psycho that is quietly contained in her bubble and that’s OK. I guess.

[@lcvmaddox3357]

Even the Buddha is said to have advised his disciples to not follow anything or anyone, including himself the Buddha, if it conflicted with their heart or made no sense, per the Dhammapada,. Do yeah, all to say Teal is very sus in this respect.

[@stephaniehaney3130]

As far as what you just said requesting that we don’t use sage. I don’t agree with that. That’s ridiculous. That’s a source that was put here on this earth for everybody not just indigenous cultures. no people should be able to claim a natural resource as their own that’s crazy

[@shawnbone1111]

sage is not running out. i am choctaw and the majority of my ppl are not offended by the use of sage. and there are many many many cultures that utilize the burning of sage. your not offending anyone by burning sage ( maybe the negative energy yall trying to clear)

[@HearturMind]

I’m glad they have the suicide disclaimer here by the host and by KZbin. It should be placed on all Teal’s videos as well. She only doubled down on her gaslighting called help and therapy after the suicide she recommended survivors, family and other therapists and people close to her tried to push back and raise awareness. The closest to her fell away and spoke out from the earliest days. Slavery is not ok. That is exactly what she is doing.

[@victorial8764]

Hey you’re a Christian. Cool. Just found your channel today. Just watched the first one you did on this. Love your critique of this. Very respectful and informative. I am definitely going to watch this. I’ve been listening to shorts of her for a few weeks. She says some good stuff but I am so Leary of people. Anyway, good to virtually meet you and excited to binge listen to you at work. ❤ P.S. I’m sure this seems a given but I am a Christian too.☺️

Just wanted to note that the creators of The Gateway podcast on Teal, were the producers/creators of the documentary so that's probably why it's not vocalized.

You didn't answer your own question about would you give up your livelihood to live for Jesus...

[@helenr4300]

There is a genuine psychological technique of having conversations with someone not there to resolve the unsaid feelings. I think that usually is an empty chair, but could see adding a person and saying the nice generic things plus details learnt. Also in part 1 when you talked about her saying things to people she called up. There is a well known old technique with the faith healing tent missions whereby information was gleaned through prayer request cards etc. Social media would be so much easier

[@ghostdancer555]

Not quite true about Matthias yes he was the manager of Anna Kurnikowa but also was part of the Tony Robbins Team & Teal was taking advices from TR which she met through her ex Ale and Matthias was way closer to Teal as just a manager 😉

[@bellj753]

White sage is super hardy and easy to grow. It is a perennial. I have a plant that has survived cold winters and come back three years. I dry it at the end of each fall and have enough for the rest of year by using it sparingly. All you need is one leaf when you burn it. It does release a lot of negative energy that I have not found other herbs to do. My point is, if you find value in using it. Grow your own. It's not hard. It's not expensive, it doesn't need fertilizer. You can grow it in your window or own your balcony, etc.

[@heathergraham2581]

Yes but it sounds like "other people" are simply being instructed not to use it all because of culture significance. And I don't agree with that, especially if growing your own like you just suggested.

A comment on sage for anyone interested. White sage is an endangered species and the plant discussed in this video. White sage is endangered largely due to over use by non-indigenous populations (i.e. new agey "spiritual" westerners). If you want to use sage then consider drying and using the standard garden sage used in a lot of western cooking. The standard herb is not endangered and is strongly connected to European cultures and heritage.

I’m so excited to run into this site. Teal understands living in the now. I have not been able to meet her yet, but I feel like her mom. I’m so in tune already. I think that Teal is out of the box. What’s true is if her actions and service to others are being genuinely true, and she becomes a queen, that is my dream too. She is remarkably gifted. The people around her are those chosen to match her dreams. We mirror those that we are connected with. With caution we balance their teachings with my life and how I have been helped by her. Don’t we all have guides? She is one if one shows up. Sacrifice comes from the heart. Mission is real love….unconditional love… nothing else matters. We have fun arriving. Right?🎉. Blake is free. Wow. She is correct. Why try to create a story when it’s not your story? This is actually a place to talk about her life. I guess she might think, who cares…people talk…my universe has not happened yet, and look at all my free advertising adventures….maybe we should vote her for president. Look what her ideas would do for the world. Thank you for your blog. I think this is brilliant….I would vote for her, if not president, maybe in charge of evolutionary ideas. We all have ideas. 😊🎈❤️🙏

White sage cleanses your space of negative energy, including entities. Calling it cultural appropriation is a far stretch. Teal is an SRA survivor, understanding that is the key to understanding her.

[@emstarswonderland4530]

Exactly. Making tons of videos dissing someone's healing ways goes to show how much this person needs the healing. Don't create a business from dissing another online... :-/ Makes you seem inauthentic....

[@heathergraham2581]

Agreed. I don't support this idea that you have to be the right "skin tone" or "culture" to use something that comes directly from the earth. Nobody "owns" white sage regardless of when someone started integrating it into their culture or spiritual practices. I understand respect for the earth, balance, and use in moderation but c'mon. Everything is being read into as "appropriation" now and it's getting ridiculous. If we play that game, it'll get to the point where we will all be limiting ourselves as nobody will ba able to do, have, or engage with anything not tied directly to their "race" "ethnicity" "culture" or "ancestors." once we break everything down and then assign claim to where it originally came from. There would even be arguments over that too, lol. So much for appreciating, blending, and evolving as human beings then, huh?

[@heathergraham2581]

As for the SRA, yeah, many dismiss those experiences calling it part of the "Satanic panic" era and the allegations that people in the field of psychology were implanting false memories. I've listened to other survivors telling their stories and all I will say is it's a rough road for them because a lot of people buy the mainstream narrative that the experiences are just too incredulous to believe, desperately attempting to apply logic where there is none. I mean, it's not like the mainstream can be corrupted, dishonest or purposely passing along misinformation. Mainstream is "perfect" and " objective" because people with official titles say so (*rolls eyes*).
