Supporting Survivors of Coercion & Social Isolation

Liberated Consciousness is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals to rebuild their lives after experiencing psychological manipulation, social isolation, and coercion that undermine their autonomy and violate fundamental human rights, including freedom of thought, expression, and belief as outlined in Articles 18 and 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We envision a world where everyone, regardless of past trauma, has access to wellness resources, financial literacy support, and tools to uphold their human rights and live with freedom and dignity.

Having personally experienced the profound impact of these violations, we are passionate about becoming a leading nonprofit in the nation, providing a pathway to healing and self-empowerment for individuals who are reclaiming their lives after traumatic events.

Why Us

Our mission has one fundamental goal: Shame-free access to resources and support.

We aim to create a holistic community that prioritizes autonomy, compassion, and lifelong healing. By providing health and wellness resources, human rights education, and support to individuals who have experienced psychological manipulation, social isolation, or coercion, we strive to foster social awareness and empower people to reclaim their freedom and dignity.

Research Program

Search & Rescue

Calling all legal experts, mental health professionals, academics, human rights activists, and survivors of psychological manipulation or social isolation! Your participation could be the lifeline someone needs to reclaim their freedom and dignity.

Help us find those hidden and tucked away in the shadows. These individuals matter but without the data and research they could be forever lost. Participating in this research project will allow us all to save the lives of those whose tears have run dry leaving stains of a broken heart, betrayal, and loneliness.

    MJ

  • "I met Mike and Rita at a networking event a few years ago, and we clicked right away! Their energy was just magnetic, and it felt like we’d known each other forever as we chatted about music, business, and life. When they opened up about some of the difficult experiences they went through as a result of coercion and mental manipulation, I was moved by their resilience and kindness. Despite everything, they’re two of the warmest, most genuine people I’ve ever met, and they’re truly out to make the world a better place. I feel so lucky to know them!"

    Alexis Quintal

  • "Liberated Consciousness has filled the void in my heart left by the loss of community that was forcefully taken from me. It mirrors my own journey of breaking free from struggles and finding clarity. I’m deeply grateful to be part of a group that has taught me the power of self-worth and the courage to ask difficult questions. Through LC, I’ve found connection, healing, and the strength to embrace a brighter future."
