I suppose I should clarify.
I assume that OP is asking about recovery in terms of risk of falling for another cult or same cult, along with any mental factors that contribute to that tendency, and a generally better sense of appreciating what they have and being centered.
In that sense, yes, I am of the strong opinion that the people who I mentioned are "fully recovered". Watch the Beghe interview for instance. I'm definitely not stating it is as fact because I don't know them. :-)
Are they "fully recovered" in terms of every aspect of their emotional and intellectual lives? Of course not. But that way, no one fully recovers from anything, even things not related to cults. We just come to terms with it, and attempt to draw wisdom and happiness from experience.
That said, yes, I do know one or two people who have come out of such things (religion, not cults. so much easier), and are very happy with their lives due to being free of what was keeping them down. I've decided to take their word for it.
