Considerations for Support Groups

Considerations for Support Groups 〰️
Group Benefits
One of the key benefits of a support group for religious harm is connecting with others who truly understand your experience. Feeling that someone “gets it” can ease isolation and foster a sense of shared connection and validation. Support groups also offer the opportunity to hear how others are navigating similar situations, and learning from the ideas, insights, and resources of peers can be a powerful part of the healing process.
Group Challenges
If you have been harmed by the social dynamics of religion, your brain and nervous system may still carry those memories. Entering a support group—another kind of social environment—can sometimes bring up discomfort.
Common experiences include:
hyper-vigilance to social cues
feeling overly responsible for others’ emotions
heightened guilt or shame
difficulty separating others’ pain from your own
vulnerability hangovers
risks of additional social hurts
Noticing these patterns in yourself during a supportive group can become a meaningful learning experience and a way to reclaim healthy social connection. It’s okay to move at your own pace and give yourself the time and care you need to feel comfortable in group spaces.
Alternatives to Groups
Sometimes support groups aren’t the best fit. Here are some alternatives to group support:
Stabilization & Skill-Building
Individual therapy sessions, psychoeducation, grounding skills, boundaries, understanding trauma responses.
Goal: Build enough internal regulation to tolerate others’ emotions without merging with them.
Micro-Groups or Structured Workshops
Shorter, educational groups with less emotional sharing.
Goal: test the waters, experience resonance without deep emotional connection.

What's the Difference?
Peer Support Groups
Can be led by a therapist or not. They are less formal with a wide variety of styles and formats. Available across state lines.
Therapy Group
Must be led by a licensed therapist and the participants must live in the state where therapist has a license to practice.
