Welcome to our peer support group designed for adults who have endured a narcissistic and abusive upbringing--Note this group is limited to US Citizens. There are other great groups for NPD recovery, but this one is focused on US-base resources and peer support. Our Objectives: ``` Provide a safe space for acknowledging and affirming the unique experiences of survivors. Share valuable resources to facilitate progress on your journey of healing. ``` Disclaimer: Please note this is a peer support group intended for adult survivors of narcissistic abuse; it is not a licensed therapeutic resource or professional counseling service. It operates as a community where members can connect, and share their personal experiences, insights, and coping strategies. Limiting membership to U.S. citizens deepens our understanding of survivors' challenges, including discussions on navigating U.S. legal, social, and cultural norms. Discussions may focus on U.S. healthcare, legal options, and social support services. International survivors are encouraged to explore other global recovery groups, there are several others on meetup.com; check them out! Remember: --The mistreatment you endured was real --You were treated differently from your siblings. --Your parent(s) actions were a reflection of their emotional struggles and coping mechanisms, not a reflection of your worth. --They burdened you emotionally, making you feel unappreciated, even suggesting you should be grateful for the essentials they provided (the reality is that is the bare minimum and responsibility of parenthood). --Gaslighting was a part of your experience; denying clear events has lasting effects on the mind, subjects you to cognitive dissonance, and long-term exposure puts you at risk for cognitive decline. --The dismissal of your feelings is real, yet your subsequent outburst gives them something to feed from, making your reaction the focal issue rather than addressing the underlying dynamic. It's essential not to share your emotions, whether positive or negative, as they lack the capacity to care of them. --You cannot win an argument with a narcissist; seeking their validation exposes you to further harm. --Narcissists thrive on attention and power, and asserting yourself can feed their ego and manipulation. If you want to thrive, treat access to your emotions as a privilege, adopt the "grey rock" method, and protect your emotional well-being. It may be possible, with time and understanding, to grasp that their actions stemmed from their own emotional childhood traumas. However, remember that establishing and maintaining boundaries remain crucial for your own mental and emotional health. This group aims to complement, not replace, any professional care you may need.
