What we’re about
The goal of this group is provide a space for survivors of narcissistic abuse to come and talk about what they’ve been through, find others who have been through similar, and to support one another. The format of the group to be decided within the first few meetings.
It’s worth noting that not everybody’s ex is a narcissist. It’s also worth noting that not everyone who has suffered narcissistic abuse has done so at the hands of someone with diagnosed NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder). Nonetheless, many of us have experienced the trauma, gaslighting, and manipulation so common with narcissists and people with narcissistic traits.
This is not a place to just come complain about your ex. This is a place for folks who have endured narcissistic partners or parents or other narcissistic people in their lives to find support.
This group is open to all adults. We are accepting of all sexualities, genders, races, political beliefs, and anything else. As such, any discriminatory language or behavior will not be tolerated.
Sharing this stuff is vulnerable. To keep it safe for folks to open up, we do not try to solve their problems, we do not interrupt, and we do not correct them.
This is absolutely NOT a place to make sexual or romantic connections.
We do not diagnose anyone in this group, whether that be you, the attendee, or the person who harmed you.
This is not a professional led group. These are just people coming together for support. Although there may be professional support at some point in the future.
We don’t gang up on the narcissist or just vent about how awful they are. No name-calling or derogatory remarks. We’re focused on healing ourselves. While the narc’s behavior certainly plays a role, and we can talk about the things they did that hurt us, the focus should always be on processing and healing from that abuse.
You are not alone.
You are not crazy.
By virtue of being a human being, you are worthy of dignity and respect.
