Recovery Group

Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Group

A 6-week online support and psychoeducation group for people currently in, or recovering from, narcissistic, emotionally abusive or controlling relationships.

These relationships can leave you feeling confused, anxious, guilty, isolated and unsure of yourself. You may find yourself replaying conversations, questioning your judgement, struggling to detach, or feeling pulled back towards someone who has hurt you.

This group offers a safe, structured and supportive space to begin making sense of what has happened.

Alongside shared reflection and group support, we will explore the patterns often found in emotionally abusive relationships, including love-bombing, gaslighting, trauma bonds, attachment patterns, intermittent reinforcement, boundaries, self-doubt and rebuilding your identity after emotional harm.

Group support can be powerful because it helps reduce the shame and isolation that often come with these experiences. Hearing others describe similar thoughts, feelings and patterns can help you feel less alone, more validated, and more able to trust your own reality again.

One-to-one therapy gives you space to focus fully on your own story. Group support offers something different: connection, shared understanding and the experience of being heard by others who truly understand the emotional pull, confusion and impact of these relationships.

This group is not about judgement, diagnosis or blame. It is about understanding, recovery and beginning to reconnect with yourself.

Yes. Confidentiality is an important part of creating a safe group space.

All group members are expected to respect the privacy of others and not share personal information or stories outside of the group.
