Narcissistic Recovery Groups
Narcissistic Relationship Recovery Group
A small, therapist-led online coaching group for survivors leaving narcissistic and toxic relationships — designed to help you heal, rebuild, and reclaim your life.
Leaving a Toxic Relationship Is Only the Beginning
Leaving a narcissistic or toxic relationship is one of the hardest things a person can do. But for many survivors, leaving doesn't bring the relief they expected — it brings a new wave of confusion, grief, and disorientation that can feel just as overwhelming as the relationship itself.
If you've recently left — or are in the process of leaving — a narcissistic, high-conflict, or emotionally abusive relationship, you may be experiencing:
Trauma BondingThat inexplicable pull back toward someone who hurt you. The grief of missing a person who caused you harm. The push and pull between knowing you made the right choice and feeling like you can't survive without them. Trauma bonding is a recognized psychological response to prolonged emotional abuse — and it is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign that you were manipulated by someone who was very good at it.
Gaslighting Confusion: Difficulty trusting your own memory, perception, and judgment after months or years of having your reality denied, minimized, or twisted. You may find yourself constantly second-guessing your decisions, replaying conversations, or wondering if you were the problem all along. You weren't.
Emotional WithdrawalLeaving a narcissistic relationship can trigger a withdrawal response similar to leaving an addiction — anxiety, restlessness, grief, physical symptoms, and an overwhelming urge to reconnect. Understanding this response is the first step in moving through it.
Difficulty Rebuilding ConfidenceYears of criticism, manipulation, and emotional erosion can leave you not knowing who you are outside of the relationship. Rebuilding self-worth, self-trust, and confidence after narcissistic abuse is possible — but it takes the right support.
If any of this sounds familiar, you are not broken. You are a survivor who deserves real support.

Led by Dr. Nzinga Cates, LCMHC — a licensed clinician with over 25 years of mental health experience, a Doctorate in Forensic Psychology with a specialization in Victimology, and her own lived experience as a narcissistic abuse survivor — this group combines clinical expertise, education, and genuine community support in a way that most programs simply cannot offer.
This group gives you three things most survivors are desperately missing:
- Education — Finally understanding what happened to you. The psychology of narcissistic abuse, trauma bonding, coercive control, and manipulation tactics explained in a way that helps everything make sense.
- Practical Tools — Concrete, actionable strategies for breaking trauma bonds, rebuilding self-trust, setting healthy limits, and moving forward with confidence — not just insight, but skills you can use immediately.
- Real Support — A small, intimate group of people who understand your experience without requiring explanation. The kind of community that reminds you that you are not alone, not crazy, and not to blame.
90-minute small supportive environment held weekly on Mondays, starting March 16th. $100 per person/group session

Were you raised by a narcissistic or toxic parent?
Many adult children of narcissistic parents struggle with:
• chronic self-doubt
• guilt when setting boundaries
• people-pleasing and fear of disappointing others
• difficulty trusting themselves or their decisions
If you're unsure whether your parent may have had narcissistic traits, you may recognize some of these experiences growing up:
- Your feelings were dismissed, minimized, or mocked
- Love and approval felt conditional on meeting their expectations
- You were blamed for family problems or made the “scapegoat.”
- Your parent needed constant admiration or attention
- Your accomplishments were ignored, taken credit for, or never “good enough”
- Boundaries were not respected and your privacy was invaded
- You were expected to care for your parent emotionally
- You often felt responsible for their moods or reactions
This weekly online group provides education, tools, and support for healing from narcissistic
family dynamics.
90-minute small supportive environment held weekly on Thursdays, starting March 19th. $100 per person/group session
