Ptsd

[close] A group established for PTSD survivors. We are a group dedicated to those who have survived trauma, family members of trauma victims, and all who are supporters of those who have suffered traumatic events. This group CANNOT replace a medical diagnosis and cannot replace therapy. However, we can support one another in our recovery from traumatic events. Included in the link below are the set of reasons why support groups can help: http://www.ptsd.va.gov/public/treatment/cope/peer_support_groups.asp NOTE: This group is also not open to anyone under 18. You are welcome to message me or another moderator regarding this rule in case you want this waived for yourself as a younger user--however, I have to say that there is a major trigger warning due to some explicit content contained here.

[close] All 16 and older are welcome. This book club focuses on books with a mental health lean. These books have all been read by The Villain Esteem Team. We have an optional Facebook group as well in order to provide access across multiple platforms increasing the accessibility. *Trigger warnings will be provided.

[close] This book club is for those who are interested in learning more about trauma, Complex/PTSD, scientific research, and the many different paths to healing. Books are chosen via a poll and the weekly reading load is agreed upon on the first meeting after selecting a new book. Meetings are held on a weekly basis via zoom. DISCLAIMER: This is not a support group run by a mental health professional or physician. If you are in distress, having thoughts about hurting yourself or others, please reach out to a psychologist, psychiatrist, or other mental health professional. If you're experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency, call 911 (or your country's equivalent emergency line), or go to the nearest emergency room.

[close] This group is for ex-JWs to discuss books that have helped them in their recovery. This is a RESTRICTED group, meaning that anyone can see the group INFORMATION, but ONLY MEMBERS can see the group DISCUSSIONS. Please feel free to be yourself. This is a safe place, without fear of being "outed" to your friends and family. If you are an author (which I know many of you are), please feel free to share your own works. Also, feel free to share any books that have helped you personally. They need not be JW related. As the group continues to grow, it's my hope to have a monthly or seasonally book which we can all read and discuss. Please feel free to share this group with your friends and family. The more the merrier. Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful day.
