I am an adult child of a dysfunctional family. I belong to other groups for people who have complex ptsd, and who are children of narcissists. I would like to come here sometimes, but I don't want to "work the 12 steps." I have enough books and techniques. I have enough mindfulness techniques. I don't want to be judged on how well I am making progress. I don't want a higher power. I started off with protective crystals, and supplements. I'm taking L-theanine and Ashwaganda for mental health. I won't put anyone down for working the program, and I'd like the same treatment. vice versa. We all come from dysfunctional families here. Sound all right?
Welcome and we dont tell you how to do your recovery. Whatever works for you is OK with us.
