Do i go? or do i stay?

[Justmehere]

all the support in the world will not make me feel any less humiliated, degraded, judged and triggered just by having to address the issues in a group setting

Is it only in this group setting that you feel these feelings about this one issue? Or do these feelings come up elsewhere?

@Justmehere it is any time but the group is much worse. It is a behaviors group dealing with discussing and challenging certain negative behaviors that the members engage in as a result of their trauma some pretty vanilla but negative nonetheless others such as mine not so “mainstream socially acknowledged” and there for more difficult to discuss and eliciting more negative responses and more perceived judgements.

Go. Face your fears. Take advantage of the opportunity. Jump through the hoops. And all the other motivational things I can come up with.

The idea of group sounds quite terrifying -- but the benefit to you going outweighs not going just because of it

You have struggled so hard for so long - you deserve this help. Take it! You know your son will agree - he wants you to get well.
And yes -after facing your abuser? You are really going to need this break.

Go. Get better. Come back. Tell us what you learned..... We will be here :hug::hug:
