Supporters of survivors, i.e. friends, spouses, children, etc. are also welcome. This should be a safe environment for all. Post your struggles, your successes, your poetry, celebrate your survival! Ground Rules: 1. If you found it fit to join this group, as a Survivor or a significant supporter of a surivivor, please contribute as you can. It is difficult to open up in a group of this nature, knowing that there are some members lurking in the background who have never contributed. It's like sharing intimate details of your life with a group of friends while a stranger purposely listens over their shoulder. It feels creepy. If you are a member, please introduce yourself, let us know the reason you joined and please occassionally share. 2. The group is as confidential as an online group can be. For now, it will remain private, since many have expressed the desire for it to be in order to feel safe enough to share. Also we don't want the group to become to large. If you want to invite someone who you think would fit into this group, please still do so, but let me know, so I am prepared for a new member. What gets said in here, stays in here. Please respect confidentiality. 3. Please respect each other and each other's experiences. Each person must be believed. No one should minimize, discount or invalidate what another person says. 4. Please do not threaten suicide to the group. This causes others in the group undue worry and can trigger emotional turmoil as many of us have had friends and family members commit suicide. If you feel suicidal, you may in a post, explain this is how you feel, but please let us know that you will be seeking help and please do so. No one liners..."I am going to kill myself, goodbye." This is harmful to the group. IF you are going to write about suicide or self-abuse or even some very detailed description of abuse, please put in the subject "This may bother someone" Or "May trigger." Above all, if you are suicidal, please seek professional help! 5. Please give each other feedback that is respectful and accepting. Remember that each of us are on a different stage in our healing process. We have had different forms of abuse leveled against us. We may react differently. Please do not attack each other personally or leave demeaning comments on someone's post. If you do not understand where someone is coming from, please ask in the form of clarifying. Do not "should on each other." 6. Appreciate the feedback that others give you. Even if you disagree, let us know that you appreciate the time and effort for us to comment. If something another person said was helpful, please take the time to thank them. Also, please read other's posts and leave them positive feedback as well. less 50 Members - Private Membership - updated 09/28/04 Public URL: survivorsoftraumaPTSD.tribe.net - Quiche , posted 01/03/05 |
