What we’re about

We are a peer to peer support group for people who have suffered or are suffering from Narcissistic Abuse in a love or personal relationship. We will discuss and encourage sharing of our experiences, talk about trauma bonding and how to break the cycle. Most importantly, we will share our communal experience and provide support by listening and sharing our what we've gone through so that all attendees know that they are not alone.

Please read this message carefully: Before signing up to any meeting in this group, you MUST attend a First Timers Meeting event. There are NO exceptions to this. These meetings are designed to ensure community safety and if you sign up for an Established Member event without attending one, you will be removed from that event. Before you do anything else, including signing up for an Established Members group, check out our "Events" section and sign up for a First Timers Group and attend one BEFORE you sign up for an Established Member meeting. We are very strict about this rule, so please do so as we hate to remove people from meetings and have to send a PM advising someone of this rule.

All meetings are run through Zoom. The links and passwords are reset every day. The links are all sent the morning of the meetings. You will receive your link through whatever email you use through Meetup. Please ensure you have your settings with Meetup set to receive emails as they will come in through that email. If you sign up for a meeting, please check you have received your link well before the meeting as we do not check our emails during meetings. It is your responsibility to check that you have received your link - if you haven't received it and it's before meeting time, simply send your organizer a PM and we will ensure you receive it.

Some more general rules that will be reviewed in your First Timer's Meeting:

  1. DO NOT private message moderators/organizers unless you have a question regarding the group as a whole, or you didn't receive a link to the meeting. DO NOT message us for medical, legal, or general advice, and do not contact us to vent. We understand that times are tough and this is not an easy situation to deal with, but we are all running this group on a volunteer basis, and we do not have any medical or counseling degrees. If there is an emergency please call 911, contact your local police, hospital, or physician. There is also a domestic violence hotline (800.799.SAFE) and a suicide hotline (800-273-8255) - these are free 24 hour services. We appreciate your understanding in advance.
  2. DO NOT private message other members of the group. Again, this is an exception to the rule above, but if you see someone in a meeting you'd like to reach out to, please send the organizer of that meeting a message and we will ask that person if they consent to being contacted and will pass on your info to them. If a member tells you during a meeting to reach out to them, that is OK as they have consented already. This is for the safety of our members, which we take very seriously.

We are happy you are here and hope you find this a supportive community. All of the rules are above are to ensure that you are safe and that the people you will be interacting with are validating, here for the 'right reasons', and are properly vetted. We look forward to meeting you!

ALL NEW FOR FALL - THE EMOTIONAL DYSREGULATION WORKSHOP: LEARN HOW TO MANAGE AND BETTER CONTROL YOUR RESPONSES

Emotional dysregulation is extremely common in those struggling with Complex PTSD. Tonight, we will provide a supportive environment to learn and practice skills for managing intense emotions and trauma responses. Drawing on evidence-based therapies, we'll focus on building internal safety, understanding trauma's impact on the brain, and developing practical, mind-body coping techniques.

In this all new workshop, we'll explore the following topics in detail:
- We will begin with an explanation of how trauma affects the brain and body. Participants will learn about concepts like the "window of tolerance," flashbacks, and triggers.
- With an emphasis on personal safety, we will explore how the inability to manage emotions can impact self-esteem, confidence, relationships, education, and careers.
- Participants will learn strategies for improving emotional resilience such as those proven using CBT and DBT techniques to improve emotional regulation and stability.
- We'll also cover co-regulation skills, how to use body-based techniques like somatic based healing, and when to seek professional help.
- Getting through an emotional crisis without making things worse using a grounding toolbox method will be practiced.
- The course will conclude with a way to synthesize the techniques discussed in this workshop into daily life.
