R.A.G.E. - Regret, Anger, Grief, Evolution : Coping with Narcissistic abuse

***Established Members Only***

Welcome Survivors! This is a weekly support group meeting designed for established members who are coping with having been abused by a narcissist. This group is intended to be a safe and inclusive conversational space for those coping with narcissistic abuse of any kind and by any person in their lives. In this healing environment all shares/requests for support are welcome and group attendees are encouraged to offer examples of possible coping strategies/evidence based techniques and even personal stories of what worked for them. Please raise your hand to share or to respond to others' shares.

Note: If you are emotionally triggered by specific topics please mute the group conversation until you feel safe or note that the person sharing has changed.

DESCRIPTION: An informal peer-to-peer based share group for those in all stages of moving on, recovery and healing from narcissistic relationships.

~ZOOM LINKS WILL BE SENT OUT THE DAY OF THE MEETING VIA YOUR MEETUP MESSAGES~

This group is at 1900-2030 Eastern Standard Time

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. 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 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.
9. No soliciting or pedaling of products

**We appreciate you following the rules and respecting everyone's healing process!**
