TEAL: I cannot stress how powerful this process is.
You will be making changes based off of what you see.
Let's say that you've got a parent
who really ruined your life.
That's something that you need to see,
the dynamic with this horribly abusive person.
A family display is sometimes the hardest
because you have to see the reality of
what was actually happening in the home.
I need you to trust that I've got you.
MAN: All right.
So what we're gonna do to begin with
is we are going to bring
-your child self into the room. -Okay.
Along with your parents at that time.
Okay.
Do you agree with your free will...
Do you agree with your free will...
...to assume the consciousness of the part of me...
...to assume the consciousness of the part of me...
-...that is a child? -...that is a child?
Yes.
Do you choose with your free will to assume
the consciousness of the mother of Ellie at this time?
I do.
To assume the consciousness of Ellie's father
at this time when she was a child?
[sighs] Yes.
WOMAN [as Young Ellie]: Okay. It is up.
It's a castle.
WOMAN [as Ellie's father]: I don't get her.
Who taught her to play these weird-ass games?
Not me.
[clangs]
Are you relating to this?
-ELLIE: I'm not recognizing. -MAN: Okay.
ELLIE: I'm not conscious of it.
WOMAN [as Ellie's father]: No, I know--
WOMAN [as Ellie's mother]: Just five minutes
without you pestering me.
WOMAN [as Ellie's father]: No, no, no,
you're grounded today.
WOMAN [as Young Ellie]: Class is over.
ELLIE: Did she just say he could take his aggression out on me?
Wow.
I remember being mean to my brother
but then I heard Sylvia saying that
you suspected some abuse
from my brother towards me as a kid?
WOMAN: When I was in your father's role.
-Uh-huh. -WOMAN: I felt that
maybe he had abused the son.
-Okay. -WOMAN: And then
when I was in the mom role,
I felt like possibly like
some inappropriate... touches happened
between the son and the mom as well.
Oh, wow, okay.
[sighs]
[dramatic music playing]
MAN: That's what you've had to hold on to until now.
What you're learning is how to find it
and how to recognize it.
I don't want to see my parents as evil.
Those are all things that we can look at.
[crying]
[dramatic music playing]
[cell phone ringing]
JULIANA: Hi, mommy!
-JULIANA'S MOTHER: Hi, Juliana. -Hello!
-[speaking foreign language] -JULIANA: Yeah.
[speaking foreign language]
[sighs]
[speaking foreign language]
[speaking foreign language]
[speaking foreign language]
[speaking foreign language]
-[speaking foreign language] -JULIANA: Uh-hmm.
[speaking foreign language]
JULIANA'S MOTHER: [speaking foreign language]
[speaking foreign language]
Yeah.
[speaking foreign language]
[speaking foreign language]
JULIANA'S MOTHER: [speaking foreign language]
-[laughs] -JULIANA: Uh-hmm. [laughs]
-Yeah. -JULIANA'S MOTHER: Okay.
JULIANA: [speaking foreign language]
[piano music playing]
BLAKE: I got you something.
Do you remember how you were saying
you're wanting to do something?
What's good, huh?
[sewing machine whirring]
Thank you. [laughs]
I really like being around him.
It feels like coming home.
It's not where I need to fight for that feeling.
[indistinct chatter]
JULIANA: I think that's the best,
finding that belonging.
[wind chimes tinkling]
MAN: Because I didn't get that attention
because my parents were also not...
BLAKE: [whispers] [indistinct]
[grunts]
[indistinct chatter]
I love you.
-Something's weird. -[Juliana laughs]
My goodness. Look at the smile on your face.
BLAKE: Hello. It's good to see you.
MOLLY: Hello.
BLAKE: How are you?
MOLLY: I have been viewing things
-from the periphery-- -Yeah.
MOLLY: --talking to the people
who are not part of the inner core.
But in order to complete my full analysis,
I have to understand the core a little better.
-So you got married? -I did.
MOLLY: Lucky man.
-Hi, Juliana. -Hi.
MOLLY: Oh, my God. She's gorgeous.
Hi.[laughs]
Nice to meet you.
MOLLY: So you're very brave, Juliana,
to walk into this.
When did you come over?
JULIANA: End of July.
BLAKE: Three months before we got married.
MOLLY: Okay. In the inner core,
does anyone else have a relationship
outside of that group that is--
-Not-- -MOLLY: --this intimate?
Not really.
-MOLLY: Not really? -No.
MOLLY: Is that discouraged?
BLAKE: No.
MOLLY: Any plans of having youngins?
I don't know. I'm not really--
I feel like I've even done that with Winter, so but--
MOLLY: I'm looking at her.
I know--I know. I see that.
[Molly laughs]
Yeah.
Well, I'm not really thinking about that right now.
MOLLY: Right. Okay, just checking.
JULIANA: But it's definitely a wish.
MOLLY: Cool.
You guys should talk about that sometime.
Yeah.
Yeah, the most terrible...
-WOMAN: Expecting the worst? -MAN: I do.
I'm just--that's like all I've been doing.
[dramatic music playing]
MAN : So this is--this is Teal's birthday, huh?
WOMAN: He's here. Just smile.
TEAL: We're all into this family and this community.
In childhood most of us didn't fit in.
For my parents, it was this kid is not like me,
this kid is not what I wanted. This kid is too different.
I don't know what to do with this kid.
This kid is mentally ill.
There's a problem with this child.
MAN: Goodnight to the old lady whispering...
TEAL: They did not see me at all.
Not even when I was being abused.
WOMAN: Beautiful summer day.
What have you got for the horses, Teal?
TEAL: My parents are in a whole other reality
about what happened with my abuser.
You know, I'm telling them such horrific details
that they can't-- they can't go there
and see themselves as good parents anymore.
That's why I think of why it's been so much easier
to forgive him than my parents.
And I watched this happen a lot.
Sometimes you have to accept the fact
that my own family is my enemy.
A lot of people have a hard time with that.
[dramatic music playing]
GRACI: So these are the only pictures I have of me
from being a kid.
It's so interesting to say you can look so normal.
But underneath there was so much going on.
When I started this whole thing with Teal,
I feel like my childhood just started to come up.
[water pouring]
GRACI: I'm bringing you into my safe place.
I don't really feel like I can have walls in a bath,
so it gives the opportunity
to really get like deep in there.
The first time I actually got raped.
I was four.
I was telling my mom I was hungry.
And she was preparing for a party.
I don't know whose party,
but there was a cake
and I grabbed the cake.
And she got really mad at me and she said,
"I'm gonna tell your father."
And so my dad came in, grabbed me
and raping me was his form of punishment.
My mom actually walked in the first time.
I was screaming my head off.
She walked in and walked out.
Yeah.
I think the worst memory I have is...
these family gathering parties
and, um, they actually built--
uh, it was like a barbecue pit.
They lit it on fire.
And then they put the kids on top of it.
So they would put every kid on top of it.
That's I think one of the worst memories I have.
MAN: Why were they putting the kids on top of it?
Just a form of punishment.
I don't know.
It--it's more so...
Here's the thing,
I did start uncovering
some of the stuff when I was with Teal.
But I had stuff I didn't need to uncover.
[water rippling]
TEAL: Kambo is a shamanic medicine,
technically it's frog poison.
[scratching noise]
TEAL: What's your intention for this medicine?
[sniffs]
For it to help me move forward.
It just feels like the trauma is stuck. [sniffs]
My parents think I've gone nuts.
We live in two different worlds.
And so they don't think Teal
is a great influence for me.
There was a moment
where my mom came to Utah
and called the cops.
She said, "My daughter, I haven't heard from her.
She's being abused."
Eventually, I actually confronted my mom
on the abuse.
[whispers] See if you can let it help you,
the medicine,
instead of fighting.
GRACI: And she denied everything.
And so I was like I can't--I can't do this.
That was the last time I saw her.
It literally feels like I'm paralyzed.
TEAL: [whispers] Let go.
Let go.
Let go.
[sniffs]
TEAL: Graci's family blames me
for why they aren't around Graci.
Thinks I've ruined their family.
Blake's family thinks the same thing.
And I'm probably gonna have
the same experience with Juliana.
I cannot own the conditions,
painful conditions that created a daughter
who doesn't wanna be around them.
She left, why did she leave?
It can't have anything to do with us, right?
So they, of course, they're gonna--
they're gonna come up with a story
that saves their self-esteem,
which is that she's been seduced into a cult.
[dramatic music playing]
MOLLY: I have these various checklists
that I'm using to try to figure out
the whole accusation of cult behavior.
Those two sets of ethics in a cult,
one for the leadership, and one for the followers.
JARED: I feel like the inner circle
is very cultish.
I feel like the outer circle
-is very self-help. -Right.
JARED: Because I wanted to be healed so much,
I let myself be had by her.
I mean, this tattoo
is one that she recommended I get,
because I was lying to her.
She said like I-- she could read my thoughts.
-And I was lying to her. -MOLLY: Wow.
JARED: That's when I began to
question my childhood, my family.
You know, I thought my grandparents
sexually abused me and my parents.
I thought I-- because you would go
and just create all these stories
and then you like start to, like, freak out.
Like if that really happened,
if this is my mind showing me this.
And all these things are, like,
just started getting worse and worse.
Teal made me question like
all of my childhood experiences
and everything that I've gone through
and just, you know,
made me like cut ties with family
and think this and accuse my dad of sexual abuse
like awful stuff.
I told my ex-wife that wasn't gonna pay a child support.
And she thought it's because I didn't have the money.
But I was literally not paying that money
because I was giving it all to Teal.
She's mentioned and said this so many times
when I was living there,
"We have to be willing to do
whatever it takes for this cause.
This cause is more important than our own lives."
When you have the mindset
of this is someone who's got
the most important work in the world
who's been through the most terrible torture
in all of humanity?
When you have that mindset,
anything she does is, like,
outweighed, like, it's either-- it's either, like,
her mission is too important
or her pain is too great.
Anything else is like off the limit,
like, she can-- she can do whatever she wants.
MAN: We watched the thingy
with Oprah and Prince Harry and Meghan.
JULIANA: Oh, yeah?
MAN: And Meghan did not feel
prepared for the Royal Family.
Nobody told her anything.
To prevent a crash,
we wanted to go through all the things
which we signed up for
and then see where it is compatible
and when it's not compatible,
for example, what do you feel is yours?
And what do you feel is not aligning with you, your needs?
JULIANA: I feel like whenever we're on a workshop,
I feel like I'm,
like, in the right place
and it doesn't cost me any energy.
MAN: So the workshop, for example,
we've been working 14 hours
and then somebody has a crisis.
It's okay for you
to work another six hours with that person?
I do not have any problem with that.
MAN: Right, so that we basically 24/7 available?
-BLAKE: Yeah. -JULIANA: Uh-hmm. Yeah.
BLAKE: Same.
MAN: But how does it look at home,
so to say when we're not on the tour?
There is no leisure travel like you and Blake--
-I-- ---cannot travel to Germany
without being related to the company.
TEAL: There's no leisure travel.
-Teal and me... -JULIANA: I would like
to find a way where we can-- where I can--
where I can see my family
and friends in Germany.
Like it's a need you have
is still a relationship with my parents,
my family, and my friends.
TEAL: I just-- I feel like what's been--
not being talked about is the fact
that this is not--a normal life
is not compatible with the life that we are leading.
That's where there's a disparity between us.
MAN: The reality of our life
is different than you think it is.
[dramatic music playing]
[applause]
WOMAN: So I got to a point
where I had to completely cut contact
with my parents.
Um, it was really hard, but I did it.
And then I would get all these thoughts of like,
"This is wrong. I shouldn't be doing this.
I should make this work."
And what's the resistance of that?
WOMAN: A part of me still, like, wants the connection.
Here's little me, like all alone.
And, like, how am I gonna-- how am I gonna make it?
TEAL: So I want you to close your eyes.
Oh, God, okay.
TEAL: Do you hear these footsteps
that are walking towards you?
WOMAN: Yes.
TEAL: This is somebody who's coming to spend time with you.
You're not just by yourself anymore.
I want you to feel us, like, we're in there with you.
So, like we're on the surface of things
just watching you there, we're in that chaos.
-It's very peaceful here. -TEAL: Yeah.
That's more of what you really need.
You've been gaslit your whole life.
What you feel is accurate.
There's nothing wrong with this. This is what you're needing.
[gasps]
[cheers and applause]
Hey.
She likes to try to eat the words.
Okay. I said I'm sorry. I just wanna kiss you.
[dramatic music playing]
[keyboard clicking]
TEAL: What is the point of me taking action?
One of the main reasons that people don't take action
is because they're terrified of making a change.
SABRINA: Back in 2015, I was searching for help.
Just super depressed, out of reality.
I had a therapist before when I was younger, didn't work.
And I found Teal.
I was doing that, like, kind of.
I went to a retreat and Teal told me
that my parents don't love me.
Um, and that was huge.
And that was hard for me to grasp because I was,
like, "I don't agree with you.
I feel like my parents do love me."
But Teal is psychic, so she knows.
Shortly after, I did move out of my parent's house.
That was kind of the last thing to fall for me
in terms of support that I had.
So I fell into a depression and then I attempted suicide.
[sighs]
I'm in a tough spot.
I'm in a tough spot.
[airplane zooming out noise]
[dramatic music playing]
SABRINA: I need to feel better.
Not in an abstract way.
TEAL: Gently turning your attention inward.
Focus inside yourself.
Now think of an image that perfectly
represents what you want.
SABRINA: I can't have this hope.
Like it's gonna get better in the future
or something like that.
TEAL: With each breath,
your legs now expand, and contract.
SABRINA: This whole thing is a leap of faith for me.
But honestly, life is [bleep] painful,
so you really don't have-- it--that's the thing,
I think Teal says that she's, like,
"You know how much pain somebody has to be in
to finally come to me?"
That's the [bleep] truth, man.
You have nothing else to lose.
[dramatic music playing]
Hi, everyone.
MAN: Hi.
TEAL: You guys look panicked.
I'm not gonna bite, I promise.
So how are we doing this morning besides afraid?
[laughter]
TEAL: Okay. Before they start, the first thing
I'm gonna tell you is I held a very high standard
for my team members.
Like very, very high, like, a lot of people
can't hack it level high.
So you can trust them.
Okay. Are we ready for our first exercise?
-WOMAN: Yeah. -MAN: Yes.
I have resistance to you now.
TEAL: To--you have resistance to me now?
-I'm a little mad at you. -For what?
Because my life did not get better.
Everything got worse.
I'm sure you already know that I attempted suicide
in January. I don't know if you know that.
And I can't do this anymore.
It's like I've never been, like, the last six years--yeah.
TEAL: Oh, look, I know it sucks, but here's the thing,
it's my intention that you feel better, right?
I want you to feel better.
I want you to walk out this door feeling better.
But the reality is, is that most adults today,
yourself included,
are living an inauthentic life.
Things fall apart because they were not true to you.
SABRINA: Is my life better now?
-I don't feel that it is. -I--that's the thing.
SABRINA: But I'm gonna ask you--
That's the thing. Yeah.
SABRINA: It is better?
TEAL: Actually, yes.
That's bullshit.
-WOMAN: [gasps] -[laughter]
MAN: Where's Sabrina?
She's upstairs, right?
I'm trying to see--yeah, they're not there.
I think the door's closed for a reason.
Hello?
Hello?
Somebody in there?
Do you want to check?
SABRINA: [loudly crying]
JULIANA: She said literally, if I'm going home
and I don't feel better,
I wanna kill myself,
like she said that.
TEAL: [bleep].
I don't understand how to work with a person like that
without the worst case scenario happening, like,
she decides to commit suicide after she gets back in New York.
And they're like, "Oh, last week she was
at a Teal Swan workshop," and it's all over the place,
which is where they're taking me.
MAN: Yeah.
So at the moment it's, kind of, uh,
almost blackmailing victim control--
-WOMAN: Yes. ---with them, all right?
-TEAL: Yes. -MAN: Yeah, for sure.
It--uh, you choose either you help her
or help them or your career.
TEAL: Exactly.
My problem is I want to work with them.
Not like, "Oh, just don't."
The second someone says they're suicidal
go the other [bleep] way.
Which is what I feel like the message is right now.
I refuse to do that.
I need you to find a way that I can do this.
JULIANA: I just can't talk for myself.
I don't know how you guys feel about that.
But she is in a lot of resistance and a lot of pain.
And basically, like, it scares her right now
because there's no plan B,
-so she doesn't feel safe-- -Fuck.
JULIANA: --and secure which makes it more difficult.
MAN: I get all that.
But we're-- also dropping the ball here.
WOMAN: Teal needs everyone together
and on the same page right now.
[dramatic music playing]
WOMAN: [speaking foreign language]
JULIANA: [speaking foreign language]
WOMAN: [speaking foreign language]
Hmm, hmm.
WOMAN: [speaking foreign language]
[speaking foreign language]
[speaking foreign language]
JULIANA: [speaking foreign language]
WOMAN: Okay.
[speaking foreign language]
[speaking foreign language]
[wind gushing]
We are dancing around this, every time you come.
SABRINA: [sighs]
TEAL: I want you to start talking about
why you don't wanna be here.
SABRINA: I don't know.
I guess I just can't appreciate things.
My mom used to tell me that, she said,
"Nothing ever satisfies you."
She used to tell me.
I don't wanna align with your mother.
Your mother's not right.
What it is is that in your childhood,
nothing was safe to take in.
We're working with a split within you
that has to do with childhood trauma
and your worth issues.
Do you understand how frustrating it is for a child
to be treated like shit but--
-Yes, I know. -TEAL: --to literally
-have there be nothing? -Yes, I know.
TEAL: Why aren't you letting yourself get mad about that?
I'm not allowed to get mad.
TEAL: I just told you were.
-No. -TEAL: I'm trying to know
what's real about you.
SABRINA: No. No, bitch.
We're not going through my pain. I'm not going through my pain.
TEAL: You're a confusing person.
Because you come to these workshops
and then you play this game with me.
What is it gonna take you to stop fighting?
I want you to start talking about
why you don't wanna be doing this?
-I wanna know. -Because it's--
I don't think it's gonna get better,
-for one. -TEAL: All right.
Two, it hurts, like, physically
I'm hurting and it [bleep] sucks.
And I come here to keep learning, and learning,
and learning, and learning and going on this
[bleep] carousel over and over and over again.
My life's retreats?
And in between, we're in agony and talking
about the next retreat?
Holy [bleep].
I'm not signing up for a life of this shit.
Like, I'm not doing this shit.
I'm not signing up-- I'm not doing that.
I'm not doing this.
[dramatic music playing]
TEAL: What the [bleep] is going on with this?
What has to happen for the people to realize
I have the information that's gonna make it
so that your life changes?
Because of this last week, I don't know what the answer is.
And it's like people they don't [bleep]
actually see. They don't see the truth.
I can tell you what your issue is.
I--like, they need to know that.
MAN: There are two things we wanted to do in general,
it's like, okay, what do we do--
TEAL: People, like, [bleep] hate.
I need you to realize this. Like, people like [bleep]
hate me.
MAN: Why do you feel you have haters?
TEAL: I have haters because I wear high heels.
I have haters because I charge $5,000 for people
to come to a private event when they think I should do it
for free.
I have haters because I'm a female
with [bleep] opinion and I have power
and a vagina at the same time.
Just feels like my childhood all over again.
-It's, like, I don't know-- -MAN: Okay.
-No, this has-- -TEAL: --what's happening.
MAN: --been done, this is--Teal, we're still--
we're still in the dark.
Oh, my God. My daughter never had an issue
with suicide until she talked to Teal Swan.
Oh, yeah? Read a [bleep].
I'm so tired of families who are like,
"I don't know what happened." I'm like, "You [bleep] happened.
Of course, your daughter killed herself."
Jesus [bleep] Christ.
If people don't start doing this kind of work on themselves,
they're running off a [bleep] cliff.
I can see that, but people aren't--some people
are not ready to do that. Doing that--
-do--what do you want? -TEAL: Then they're gonna die.
-That's the thing. -Do you want to force them?
TEAL: Oh, [bleep], yeah.
JULIANA: I don't feel like we can force them.
It doesn't work that way.
TEAL: That's bullshit.
That's bullshit.
You literally just crossed the line.
Now we have problems.
[dramatic music playing]
[birds chirping]
MAN: As outsiders, we see the damage
that's being done, but if you go on the inside,
they're conditioned not to see it.
Every month I would have these massive depressive episodes.
I've never had that before or since really.
I've definitely--you know, I still--I still struggle
with depression and stuff.
But it was never as bad as it was when I was doing
charity work and when I was listening to what Teal
had to say and taking it and applying it in my life.
WOMAN: In a conflict, put me in a position
and then here I was [indistinct] ultimately
of planning suicide myself.
Yet, I had just--I had to get away from it all.
[keyboard clicking]
MOLLY: From what I have learned
from the people who have left the organization
we appear to be running into some big red flags.
And I've gotta pull myself back together,
try to refocus and try to find the truth in this mess,
it's a mess.
And then I was given a document
that I was shocked that they shared with me,
which is called "The Non-Negotiables."
And this is a list of the things that people have to agree to
if they're going to be part of this inner circle.
And it does not read well.
[cell phone ringing]
-[cell phone beeps] -Blake.
-BLAKE: Hello. -Hey, thanks for calling.
You got a minute?
I wanted to follow up with you.
-BLAKE: Sure, yeah. -Good.
I'm not sure if you're aware but Matia shared with me
the document called The Non-Negotiables.
-And-- -BLAKE: Oh, yeah?
Can you answer some questions about that?
BLAKE: I don't know. I don't have them
in front of me,
but I haven't read them in a while.
MOLLY: Okay.
Well, it's--you can't put your own family first,
the--Teal has to come first.
If she wants you there, she gets you.
The priority of the entire community
is whatever is in the best interest of Teal,
everything else is second to that.
You can't have personal boundaries
that have, in any way, an effect on Teal.
So here's how this one's written.
"You will now be in the world of fame.
This makes relationships very,
very complicated and often painful.
Your associations are in fact your potential
biggest liability.
Anyone you introduce to the community could turn
on Teal, blackmail her, rip the community apart,
put extra pressure on Teal
or other members of the community.
Uh, when fame and money is involved,
people simply cannot be trusted.
Your life is not going to even remotely
-resemble normal." -BLAKE: Uh-huh.
"If you want to have a normal life, do not choose
to be part of the inner circle."
And it goes on.
BLAKE: Uh-hmm.
MOLLY: Did you ever have any issues
or feelings about the Non-Negotiables?
BLAKE: Um, I mean, I was fine with stuff
pretty much, but Teal always refers it to,
like, joining the military or something.
What did you think when you first read all that?
That most of it is illegal.
That was my first reaction.
Part of my job here is to try to figure out
if this is a cult or not.
And then I get this document,
and it's--I have a checklist
that I'm going through, saying,
"Yup, cult, cult."
I mean, it's all on the list of things
that I'm having to use to define what a cult is.
And I know this doesn't apply to the outer circles
of participants.
But there's enough people on this list that this is supposed
to apply to, that it's put me
in an uncomfortable position.
BLAKE: Right.
There's, like, some truth in it and I see
how [bleep] up it sounds.
You always have Teal there going, like,
"Do you want this?"
You know. "Are you in alignment with this?
Tell me." You know. "Be honest."
And she is like, incredibly empathetic.
And so, she's always checking with people
whether it's working with them or not.
And do you think-- do you honestly, Blake,
feel that it would be comfortable to say
I'm not in alignment with this,
because to say that would
be to be kicked out, wouldn't it?
BLAKE: Yeah, no.
-Right. -BLAKE: I think so.
[dramatic music playing]
JULIANA: Before I came here, I perceived Teal as caring.
She was, like, committed to finding out
the truth and wanted to do the right thing.
So and then, like, I'm--
yeah, I gave up a whole life over there in Germany.
So then I'm like, "Oh, yeah, you know."
When I'm committing, I'm committing.
And my experience was a little bit like
falling into a hole, like, after that.
It's like, "Oh, wow, it's not
what I thought it would be."
She's not in the space anymore where she's just
a spiritual teacher.
There's definitely another level to it.
I don't know how long I can take it.
-MAN: Yeah. -WOMAN: Yeah.
Okay. So I'm gonna put something to you first.
Some of you guys in this group,
you're fighting against whatever is in front of you.
And unless we deal with that you're [bleep].
So with that in mind, we're going to be doing
something called water breaths.
It is a terrifying feeling, it is like a hair raising
on the back of your neck feeling,
but I also cannot stress how powerful this is.
You're using your body to hack into the subconscious mind.
And down there, it's not gonna be fun.
[dramatic music playing]
TEAL: I know first-hand that this is incredibly painful.
But this is a purge.
[soft drum beating]
TEAL: Self-awareness does not come naturally
to those who avoid pain.
Imagine your breath embracing the emotion.
This is what I want for you.
[soft drum beats]
[screams]
[gasps]
SABRINA: I love you.
[cries]

MOLLY: I'm concerned about her followers

TEAL: You feel like an adversary to me
and I need that to change.
I'm afraid, actually.
BLAKE: I am posting in the Teal Tribe
everything that's happening.
This is like a nightmare.
It feels like the person closest to you
has completely fucked your life.
He's the one that talked me out of trust.
He just ruined it all.
