Which Charles surely loved, having the president speak about you on national television was as close to Beatlemania as he was ever going to get.

I'm glad you mentioned brainwashing in here because I think it's really time to highlight that concept. And for anyone who's not really familiar, brainwashing is the systematic effort to persuade a non-believer to accept a certain allegiance, command, or doctrine.

And not simply because of the brainwashing, but because technically speaking, he did not lay a hand on anybody. They did it, right? But for anyone who is brainwashed, for them to undo the effects of that, they need to deprogram it. And this is not something that comes fast. It takes time. And that time will vary based on the individual. But it takes intensive practice.

long-term psychotherapy, psychoeducation regarding what coercive control is and what boundaries are. Medication is warranted in some instances to help manage the intensity of anxiety or depression symptoms associated with that deprogramming. And they need to be able to rebuild their own self-esteem.

Mm-hmm. Well, when we continue to explore what made Charles so fascinating, we would be remiss to not also consider the era that this happened in as well. It was the peak of the counterculture movement where hippies were rejecting mainstream values and were wanting to embrace peace and free love and psychedelic drugs, which is exactly what Manson and his family appeared to be doing.
