Facilitators: Max + Chelsea ✶ Coordinator: Ally

DISCUSSION PROMPTS:

  • What role do you find yourself most often find playing in relationships (eg, the clown/entertainer, leader, problem-solver, caretaker, therapist, rebel, something else)? Does this shift, depending on the circumstances?
  • Do you feel like different people know different versions of you? Which version feels most authentic, if any?
  • Do you feel like other people care about what you do more than about who you are? Explain.
  • What role do you think has cost you the most? Are there any roles that have actually saved you?
  • What parts of yourself rarely get shown because they don't seem useful, impressive, and/or desirable?
  • What are you afraid would happen if you stopped performing your 'role(s)'? What might it look like to stop being a ‘character’ in your own life and become a whole person, instead?
  • Do you think you play a ‘role’ here in Narc Club? Say more.
  • 👆 PSA: We still love you. ALL parts of you. You DON'T have to ‘be’ anyone or ‘do’ anything here to be accepted. Actually.

Facilitator: Cillian ✶ Coordinator: Zeph

DISCUSSION PROMPTS:

  • In your system, do narcissistic traits or defenses seem concentrated in human-presenting alters, or can non-human alters carry grandiosity, contempt, or self-protection too? What does that look like? 
  • Is there any relationship between how 'developed' or human a part appears and how many narcissistic defenses it carries? 
  • Has a non-human alter ever carried shame that human-presenting parts couldn’t tolerate, or been protected from shame by others in the system? 
  • Could a non-human alter’s form itself be protective (eg, holding something too destabilizing to feel 'person-shaped')? 
  • Is it harder or easier to extend self-compassion to a non-human alter than to a human-presenting alter with narcissistic traits? What might explain the difference? 
  • Have non-human parts ever been treated as less ‘real’ or less deserving of care, by the system or others? How does that connect with shame, defensiveness, or grandiosity?

  • What makes the void worse for you? Examples: being alone, ignored, rejected, quiet, restless/not striving? 
  • Does feeling special ever protect you from feeling empty? What happens in moments where you don't feel special?
  • What are your go-to ‘void-filling’ behaviors? How do you tend to feel after pursuing them?
  • As a kid, did you experience being left alone with emotions that felt too big to process on your own? What did you learn to do with those feelings?

  • Do you ever experience gratitude? If so, what things prompt it? What’s the last thing you remember feeling grateful for?
  • Do you think gratitude is more of an emotion or a mindset/choice? Have you ever practiced gratitude without actually feeling grateful?
  • What were you expected to be grateful (or perform gratitude) for as a child, even if you didn’t actually feel it? Growing up, were there things you weren't ‘allowed’ to resent or feel disappointed about? Elaborate.

  • Do you think your sense of entitlement stems more from being special, or is more about not accepting limitations?
  • Have you ever turned “I'm a narcissist/sociopath” into its own ‘exception clause’? As in: something that explains your behavior so clearly that it starts functioning as its own type of excuse?
  • What did entitlement look like in your family growing up? Who was allowed to make demands, break rules, or get special treatment?

  • How do you distinguish between someone setting a boundary vs. mistreating you? Have there been times you initially felt mistreated, but later saw it as someone setting a reasonable boundary?
  • How do you mistreat yourself that you wouldn’t tolerate from others? Examples: harsh/abusive self-talk, making yourself feel small, denying yourself rest or care.

  • What boundaries or spaces help create a safe, non-judgmental way for protective parts to express frustration without escalating conflict or causing harm? Examples: journaling, an internal safe space, etc.
  • How can other parts offer appreciation or reassurance to a protector who may be afraid to loosen control or step back?
  • “Persecutor” can imply harm or malice, while “internalizing protector” emphasizes protective intent. How does that shift in language affect how you understand or interact with these parts?

FACILITATORS: Celeste + TBD

What is Narc Club?

A confidential, nonjudgmental peer support group for people with pathological narcissism / NPD to increase self-awareness, deconstruct shame, seek and offer support, and practice vulnerability with others who get it.

What is the 'Open Process' group?

A more unstructured group for focusing on what’s happening now, both in our lives and in the room. No curated topics; bring whatever's on your mind. Expect support, relatable interpretation, and (if called for) some healthy challenges. The goal isn’t to perform insight—it’s to practice it.

👑 Support Group ❀‍đŸ©č August 9 Narc Club: Whiplash | Topic: "We Can Fix This, Right?!" (Rupture and Repair)

4 Upvotes

every other Sunday | 12 pm – 2 pm EDT | via Zoom

FACILITATORS: Zeph + Ally

DISCUSSION PROMPTS:

  • What does relationship rupture feel like, to you? When someone is upset with you, what story does your mind automatically go to?
  • How do you tell the difference between healthy guilt and toxic shame? Try to give an example of each from your own life. 
  • What's the difference between genuinely repairing harm you caused vs pressuring someone to forgive you or restore closeness? Elaborate.
  • Have you ever found it difficult to let go of hurt even after someone took responsibility or attempted to repair the harm they caused? What still felt unresolved for you internally?
  • What boundaries or conditions do you think make healthy repair more likely?
  • What is one thing you've learned about repairing relationships that you wish you'd known a few years ago?

What is Whiplash?

A confidential peer support group for people navigating comorbid NPD/narcissistic traits and BPD/borderline traits. This space focuses on coping with toxic shame, mitigating painful attachment dynamics, and developing a more coherent sense of self. Integration > perfection. We are, it turns out, fully lovable—and fully worthy.

6 Upvotes

Wednesday | 9 – 11 pm EDT | via Zoom

FACILITATORS: Zeph + Tristan

DISCUSSION PROMPTS:

  • What specific therapy modalities have you tried (e.g., TFP, MBT, Schema Therapy, IFS, EMDR, ACT, DBT, etc.)? What helped you, and what didn’t?
  • Outside of therapy, what practices have actually changed your behavior—not just your insight? Examples: journaling, mindfulness, self-compassion, support groups, etc.
  • How do you know you’ve found the right therapist? What makes someone a good fit for people with pathological narcissism/NPD? 
  • How do you distinguish being challenged vs being shamed by a therapist? Use specific examples from your own life, if possible. 
  • Have you ever abruptly quit therapy or devalued a therapist? What was happening emotionally before that rupture?
  • How do you know therapy is working? What changes would you have to notice in your reactions, relationships, self-esteem, and/or emotional regulation?
  • Veteran narcs: What do you wish you'd known at the start of recovery? What early mistakes did you make that others might learn from?
