Support Groups for Narcissistic Abuse Survivors: Finding connection and healing after the silence of abuse

Narcissistic abuse is not just painful, it’s disorienting. Survivors go through betrayal trauma - the trauma that results from trusting someone who keeps violating that trust over and over. Living with a narcissist pushes you into survival mode. You start reading the room constantly, second-guessing your tone, your words, your every move. You learn to overcompensate, appease, or shrink yourself - anything to avoid abandonment or rage.

The cruel irony? These coping behaviors are signs of your strength, not weakness. Your brain was doing whatever it could to keep you safe, to help you survive. But once you’re out of it, the after-effects hit hard: self-doubt, shame, crushing loneliness.  Many people isolate themselves, embarrassed that they “didn’t see the signs,” while others are cut off from family, friends or any kind of support system through the narcissist’s manipulation. That’s why community becomes so vital and why support groups for narcissistic abuse can feel like a lifeline.

A Space That Holds You

At their core, support groups are about safe connection. They gather people with similar lived experiences and create a confidential space where silence and shame no longer have the upper hand in your life. At SoulUp, groups are intentionally small with just 5-6 members, and guided by skilled therapists who hold the space with compassion and expertise. Sessions happen online over Zoom, making them accessible no matter where you are.

What happens in these rooms is simple but profound: you share, you listen, you witness, and be witnessed.

How Groups Make a Difference

Survivors may view joining a narcissistic abuse support group as a weight being lifted off their chest. Why? Because of the unique ways groups help:

  • Breaking isolation: For the first time, you realize you’re not alone. Just hearing “me too” can soften years of silence and self-blame.
  • Being believed: The narcissist’s gaslighting convinces you that your story isn’t real. In a group, your experience is met with nods and understanding, not doubt.
  • Shared wisdom: People exchange strategies that helped them navigate flashbacks, triggers, rebuilding trust, or calming their nervous system.
  • Consistency and rhythm: Meeting regularly anchors you, especially when life has felt or still feels unpredictable and chaotic, due to the narcissist’s abuse.

Unique Benefits for Survivors of Narcissistic Abuse

Narcissistic abuse leaves behind wounds and support groups respond to them in ways that individual therapy sometimes can’t.

  • Challenging distorted reality: Narcissists flip the script so well that even long after their exit, survivors still question themselves and doubt their experiences. In a group, witnessing others’ voices and seeing their outrage at your ill-treatment can help restore clarity, perspective and truth, finally dismantling the false narratives you’ve been carrying.
  • Untangling shame and blame: Survivors often say, “Maybe it was partly my fault.” This is where groups help to gently strip away that myth. You learn that what happened was abuse. Period.
  • Facing the injustice: Narcissists often walk away without any consequences, even admired by others for moving on so quickly, while survivors feel shattered. Groups provide a place to grieve this unfairness together and to practice radical acceptance - the idea that healing is possible even if the abuser never changes.
  • Rebuilding attachment and safety: Especially for those raised by narcissistic parents, groups act as a corrective emotional experience. You find out what it’s like to belong, to be heard, to be valued without any conditions.

Who Might Benefit Most

You don’t need to be in a particular stage of recovery to join. Some members could be currently in therapy, using groups as a supplementary space. Others could join while they’re taking a break from therapy, and some could simply join to meet their need for perspective and companionship. Wherever you are, a support group for narcissistic abuse can meet you there. What matters most is the readiness to sit in a circle with others who just get it.

Coming Home to Yourself

One of the most healing aspects of narcissistic abuse support groups is the way they gently help survivors return to themselves. After years of outsourcing your sense of worth to a narcissist, reclaiming self-compassion can almost feel impossible. But in groups, you witness others extending kindness to you. And slowly, you learn to offer it to yourself.

The simple act of being seen, heard, and believed - sometimes for the very first time - is often the turning point in a survivor’s healing journey.
