Weekly Support Group for Narcissistic Abuse, Coercive Control & CPTSD
Details
***Established Members Only***
Welcome Survivors! This is a weekly support group meeting designed for established members who are healing from narcissistic abuse, complex post-traumatic stress disorder, and/or codependency. Whether you are thinking about leaving, in the process of leaving or have successfully left a narcissistic relationship, this space is for you!
PLEASE NOTE:
After your share the host will ask you to pick a number between 1 - 25. The number you choose will correspond with an affirmation card from the "Affirmations for a BADASS" deck of cards, which will be read to you at group level. (participation is optional).
DESCRIPTION:
An informal peer-to-peer based share group for those in all stages of moving on and healing from narcissistic abuse.
~ZOOM LINKS WILL BE SENT OUT THE DAY OF THE MEETING VIA YOUR MEETUP MESSAGES~
GROUP RULES:
1. Do not contact other members directly without first going through an organizer. A big safety issue. We want to make sure contact is wanted. TELL AN ORGANIZER IMMEDIATELY if someone contacts you without consent. We take that very seriously here. Please WRITE to an organizer through Meetup. Please refrain from asking openly in the zoom meeting because it can put people on the spot. Also, don’t share personal
contact information in any public forum for your own safety.
2. Recognize we are PEERS not professionals or experts. We are not psychologists, attorneys, or medical doctors while attending any meeting we offer. This group should be in conjunction with one-on-one
therapy. Never a substitute. We cannot create a feeling of perfect safety so one must largely manage own triggers by muting or signing out for a period. We are volunteers and cannot give any one member personal time. The beauty of the group is to get multiple perspectives.
3. Cameras must be ON and microphones should stay muted until it is your turn to share (unless you write to an organizer a reason to have it off in advance). Having it off for brief periods is allowed as long as your camera remains on for the vast majority of the meeting.
4. We are all inclusive here. No matter what race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious or political affiliation we accept everyone. We have many people on the spectrum and we do give extra time to share. Thank you for understanding. We WILL NOT tolerate derogatory language towards any population of people. No stereotyping or making sweeping statements. Also, do not bring up race, gender or any other identity
unless you are of that identity.
5. Please use “I” statements, unless people explicitly ask for advice. People are in different situations and different things help different people. We support one another with compassion rather than judgement, so please be careful about telling someone what they should do.
6. Do not bring up controversial topics unrelated to narcissism.
7. Please RAISE YOUR HAND and you will be called on when it is your turn. There will be no interrupting one another or talking over someone else.
8. Do not raise your voice at another member or the organizer. Behavior like this will get you kicked out of the group immediately without warning.
9. No soliciting or pedaling of products
**We appreciate you following the rules and respecting everyone's healing process!**
