Format

• Core: a "First Contact Ground Crew" of roughly 12–24 people lived communally on group properties, produced online content and protected Carlson; about 20 lived together at the time of her decline.
• Periphery: auxiliary groups abroad and roughly 100–200 online "ambassadors"; daily livestreams watched by thousands; a Telegram channel with tens of thousands of followers.

Questions to explore with your client

• What drew you to it, and what are you hoping it will change?
• Does it involve any substance, plant preparation, remedy or supplement? Has your doctor or prescriber been told, especially about any medication you take?
• Is it a group, retreat or community? How do they respond if someone wants to leave or raises a concern?
• How do you and the practitioner understand what is happening, in spiritual or cultural terms? Is that a source of comfort, worry, or both?
• Does it use a device, heat, cold, water or a physical procedure? Has a medical professional checked that it is safe for you?
• Who runs it, and what training or registration do they hold?
• What actually happens in a session or meeting, and how often?
• What does it cost, and is there pressure to commit to more?
• How do you feel afterwards, in the hours and days that follow?
• Does it fit with, or clash with, the work we do here?

What practitioners of it watch for

• intrusive memories, shame, harassment.
• referral seen as rejection; loss to follow-up.
• family burnout; covert rescue plans; conflict between relatives.
• anniversary reactions; reactivation from documentaries or news; survivor guilt.
• rapid re-attachment to new online communities; antisemitic or dehumanising talk.

When to involve someone else

• New or worsening physical symptoms, or advice to stop or change prescribed medication: involve the client's doctor or prescriber.
• Signs of coercion, isolation from family and friends, escalating costs or secrecy: discuss openly and consider safeguarding.
• A crisis or thoughts of suicide: follow your crisis protocol. In the US, call or text 988; in the UK and Ireland, Samaritans on 116 123.
