Others noted both social/career consequences and stuff like NDAs, but as someone who got out of a totalizing cult: many of the victims are true believers in a "millennialist" framework that is effectively a secular religion. It is their whole world. It's so easy to rationalize the abuse you get.

To push back against this sort of stuff is to experience a kind of death of the self. You might lose everything: your friends and career, your money (if they sue you for breaching an NDA), but also *lose everything you lived for, lose the reason you get out of bed, lose why your life matters*.
