I would consider what happened to me happen to be some kind of cult. Pagan related, both times. Once in 2000-2002 and again in 2015 (although aspects of it started earlier than that).
I don't feel oppression anymore like I used to. But I still get flashbacks and triggers, night terrors, and paranoia.. ect. That all comes with it hand in hand. But it's only been about a year since I left the one in 2015 (April of 2016 I told the "leader" I was done after cutting them off for 6 months. They came back asking me when did I want to stay talking again, and I politely told her I didn't want to ever speak to her, or hers ever again.).
The main thing we have to remind ourselves is that we're both safe now, and none of them can screw with us anymore. I haven't had a proper talk with a therapist about these things simply because none of them can handle the horror stories I tell about back then.
