Disclaimer & Methodology:
This analysis was conducted using a hybrid forensic linguistics and psychological evaluation framework. Each Instagram post was assessed using recognized models of coercive control, including:

  • The BITE Model of Authoritarian Control by Steven Hassan
  • Robert Jay Lifton’s Eight Criteria for Thought Reform
  • Milton Model patterns from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)

Posts were scored for psychological risk and reviewed for legal flags based on U.S. federal law, state licensing, and international ethics. This matrix is part of an ongoing public safety investigation and is not a replacement for legal or clinical diagnosis.
