I wrote a longer post about the background to this in the therapy forum since that's where the idea sprung from in reponse to other threads but for those who don't view there ... if you have any interest in taking part (in what's mentioned below) please send a pm

The Collective Group Support

* Online group support
* Members supporting each other (note this is support and working on things together NOT therapy)
* Need over 25 members to be viable - invite only and not too many over that number so it isn't overwhelming
* What is shared in the social group forum should not be shared outside (please agree to not reposting anything elsewhere as part of "joining" the social group). Obviously you are free to share your own stuff elsewhere but shouldn't be sharing what others say/do - we want it to be somewhere people feel safe to share
* Only members of the social group should be reading the contents (not family, friends or your therapist)
* Member directed discussion and working on issues/topics together


Suggested framework

Each member would start and maintain their own "support and discussion" thread
Members should make an effort to respond and support one another
Other threads to be used for specific things members want to work on eg. a book; a quote; an exercise; an issue etc.
Group social thread

The main emphasis is on furthering healing, growing, learning - not staying where we are. Just another way to build on what we already have here at PC and elsewhere

If you are interested let me know; if not, thanks for reading anyway
