Narcissistic Abuse and Healing

A note from Tom ~ The heart of this group is RELATIONSHIPS. By forming healthy relationships, whether online or in-person, our community can grow and Heal From Narcissistic Abuse.

Healing from Narcissistic Abuse is both a science and an art!

It’s a science because there is a large amount of information and knowledge to be learned, as many of us who have spent hours watching YouTube on the terminology, causes, and outcomes of narc abuse can attest. The work of experts, clinicians, and researchers have been pivotal in growing this community's understanding.

It’s an art because there is no formula, no one way to navigate this journey of healing. Every story is unique, each person’s circumstance subjectively their own, so the path to becoming aware, finding safety, surviving and healing, and then thriving is a creative process. And like any art such as writing, dance, or oil on canvas, practicing your technique and honing your craft is the only way to get better.

This is a member-led and member-driven group that focuses on the science and art of HEALING from narc abuse. We have found that a focus on ourselves and what we can change is a healthy and productive way toward reclaiming our lives and moving toward freedom. No one is perfect, but we seek to curtail blaming ourselves and decrease the energy we spend on negatively bashing those who have hurt us.

We are all on different parts of our journey, but together we have formed a community to support, uplift, and spur one another toward fulfillment inside and out.

A note from Stefanie

Hi and welcome to our community! I wish you didn't find yourself here as we're all in the club none of us wanted to be in. What I can tell you is narcissists have impeccable taste in people, so even though the reason doesn't feel good, I believe the people you'll find here will be of a great support and comfort to you.

When I first found myself embarking upon this journey, I was lost in a fog (fear, obligation, and guilt) with a nervous system that was all but shutdown. As you know, narcissists have a way of siphoning the life out of you, incrementally over time, and you may not realize the full extent of the damage until you go low or no contact, if you're even ready and able to do that.

Our mission here is to support you along your journey and provide you with a clear map of the truth to reorient you back to reality as you've essentially escaped a cult of one. If you're interested in more support, I go by The Trauma Tamer, MS, CLC, on the "Inter Webs" and am honored to walk this healing path with you designed to lead you back to you.

Whether you are currently navigating the storm of narcissistic abuse or are ready to rediscover who you were before the world got a hold of you, I’ve built two digital homes that are evolving into what I was looking for when I was in the aftermath of recovering from the latest malignant narcissist. My goal is to save you the time it took me to put all of this together and provide you a thoroughly researched and repeated path back to you.
