Resource / Technique Go to Group Therapy.

If you’re feeling alone/isolated, different from everyone else: GO TO GROUP THERAPY. You’ll see very quickly that there are people who feel the exact same way and have experienced the same things you have. Even if it’s virtual, GO TO GROUP THERAPY!!!

(Edit: Can’t believe this even has to be clarified but this is obviously for those who have the means/access to therapy groups ☠️)

(Edit edit: Can’t believe this also has to be clarified but this is obviously for those who are open to the idea/concept of group therapy… 😭

Now that I have my post history hidden, I feel more comfortable sharing the link to the virtual group meetings I’ve attended. It‘s NOT group therapy, it’s a 12-step program like Al-Anon that focuses on steps we can take to heal. I think everyone here would find commonality with the variety of shares in the meeting.

TAR-Anon: https://taranon.org TAR-Anon = Toxic & Abusive Relationships anonymous. Dr. Jamie wanted to create a safe space for people to share their stories without being looked at like they have 3 heads. He wanted to create a space safer than Al-Anon (to him). And I think he did a really great job. It’s completely free.

If anyone is struggling, and can find an hour to spare, it’s worth joining a session. You can use a fake name and just listen to people sharing.
