Narcissistic abuse is a form of emotional abuse perpetrated by individuals with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). These individuals often exhibit a lack of empathy, a strong need for admiration, and a sense of entitlement. They use manipulation, gaslighting, and other tactics to control and exploit their victims.
Narcissistic abuse can have severe emotional and psychological consequences on the victim including; Low self-esteem, Anxiety, Depression, Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Difficulty trusting others, and Isolation.
This group is hosted by the nonprofit organization &Rise which is a 501c3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower women and girls to be the ultimate versions of themselves no matter what adversities they've faced. We provide free mental health services as well as wrap around support to help survivors to heal and thrive after trauma and abuse. &Rise offers free weekly support groups that are 100% private, 100% confidential, and 100% supportive! Please note, this is not a therapy group but a peer-led community with trained professionals of women survivors supporting and talking with one another about their experiences and healing. We have an amazing group of ladies that are kind and know what you are going through. You do not have to suffer alone or suffer in silence, we are here for you! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
Support groups can provide a number of benefits for survivors of emotional abuse, including:
• A sense of community: Survivors of emotional abuse often feel isolated and alone. Support groups can provide a sense of community and belonging, where they can connect with others who have shared experiences.
• Validation: In a support group, survivors can have their experiences validated by others who understand what they are going through. This can help to reduce feelings of shame and guilt.
• Coping skills: Support groups can teach survivors coping skills to help them deal with the emotional and psychological effects of abuse.
• Hope: Support groups can provide survivors with hope for the future. By seeing other survivors who have healed and moved on, they can learn that it is possible to overcome the effects of abuse and build a happy and healthy life.
