I'm in the middle of reading this book and it's very good. Written by a psychologist who had been brought up in a fundamentalist religion she talks all about the difficulties of leaving a mind controlling religion and how to overcome them. Although it talks mainly about evangelical and pentecostal type religions she includes many others too. (She gives JWs a mention along with other cult types). Well worth a read.
An excellent book for those leaving a mind controlling religion.

My last counselor had escaped from a cult or a high-controlling group, not jws though. But we connected immediately, the tactics/techniques of these groups are very similar. I think it is good to see what other people have accomplished and how the solutions are very similar. It helped us both see we weren't alone.
