Weekly Support Group for Toxic, Narcissistic & Abusive Partnerships w/Kim

Welcome to the Narcissistic Abuse Support Group. This meeting is for ***ESTABLISHED MEMBERS *** and focuses specifically on narcissistic abuse in partner, spouse, and intimate relationships.

LINKS WILL BE SENT OUT A FEW HOURS BEFORE THE MEETING STARTS VIA MEETUP DIRECT MESSAGES AND THROUGH E-MAIL ABOUT 20MIN BEFORE THE MEEING STARTS.

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 wait to get to know someone for at least a month or two first.
• 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

• 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.

-Please avoid any graphic detail around heavier material, such as violence, sexual assault, or current/past suicidal ideation. These subjects are best left to a professional (See the below resources).

• 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. Safety issue and adds to everyone’s experience.

• 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 its 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
• Do not bring up race, gender or any other identity unless you are of that identity.

5. 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 careful about telling someone what they should do
• 6. Do not bring up controversial topics unrelated to narcissism.
• 7. Please RAISE HANDS and do not interrupt or talk over each other.
• 8. Do not raise your voice at another member or the organizer.
• 9. No soliciting or pedaling of products**
