I help organise an online support group for women who have experienced narcissistic abuse through Heathwell Therapies. The group is facilitated by Kelly Andrews, a psychodynamic and trauma-informed therapist with over 20 years’ experience and a specialism in narcissistic abuse.

Narcissistic abuse can leave you doubting your perceptions and feeling isolated, even after the relationship has ended. You may recognise that a relationship was harmful while still feeling guilt, anxiety or responsibility for the other person. Understanding these experiences can take time, particularly when your feelings and perceptions have repeatedly been dismissed or questioned.

A group offers the opportunity to hear from other women who recognise these dynamics. Finding words for shared experiences can reduce shame and isolation, help you make sense of what happened and support you in regaining trust in your own judgement.

The group combines learning about abusive dynamics with space to share experiences and explore their ongoing impact on boundaries, self-worth and relationships.
