How To Create A Narcissistic Abuse Meetup

If there are no support groups near you - Create your own

Take control of your own recovery and step up

HOW TO CREATE A MEETUP SUPPORT GROUP

Creating a peer-led support group saved my life and I have been giving back for almost three years leading two groups in person here in Colorado. When I first learned about narcissistic abuse I joined a therapist-led support group, it cost $750 for an eight-week session and was not sustainable for me financially. It was powerful to remind me of the power of community, so I set out to create a support group.

Once I decided to start a group, I set it up online to open that door to get new members. I had no idea how they would find me or if they would come. My early recovery stage was a concern for me, so I reached out to every meetup leader I could find across the country. I hungered for them to share with me what they learned, how they run their groups and I wanted to know what people would need. I needed to learn if I could cause them harm, I felt the huge responsibility, so I wanted a plan.

That education was valuable and gave me great ideas from not to forget to bring tissues to how often they met and how many people came, where they met and how to not let the members lean on me too much that I get sucked into their drama. I didn’t know it then, but I was setting a new course in my life.

In this course you will learn

  1. How healed do you need to be to start a support group?
  2. How to set up a group – how to find a location – how to find members
  3. Knowing the room – Who might show up what stages might they be in? Who was their narc – what kinds of traumas they have been through, so you know what to expect
  4. Should you charge? How to get the cost of meetup.com covered by the group
  5. Be a Sherpa – you are an educator, not a therapist – lead them to information
  6. You will learn all the technical details – how often should we meet, where can we meet, what to do at meetings
  7. Learn how to protect yourself by not allowing ‘their’ drama to be yours

Let me help you take this journey

I have been leading two monthly in-person support groups for over three years, I never imagined these groups would help so many people find community and resources. Every time I meet with these new friends I heal another part of me.

You can create your own support system by bringing people together.

This workshop is over three hours of video jammed packed with solutions to your every question. I have also shared with you all the assets I use (worksheets and handouts) to help members find their own right path to recovery.

  • There was no support in my whole state much less where I live

    Thank you Tracy! I knew I needed help but I couldn’t find any near me. I never thought about starting my own group and the idea worried me because I was a mess myself, how could I help others. Taking this workshop gave me the confidence to bring people together. Together we are helping each other. I think the sense of community and making new friends has changed my life already. THANK YOU
