I did a CSA survivors group that had a leader for six months and then we continued to meet weekly for 7 years, until I moved out of town. They still all get together every once in awhile 15 years later and I will see them, we do some emailing, when I'm back in the area for work next month.

It was an incredible experience, not only for the friendship but because I really learned how my past impacted my current life. They saw me through a bad breakup and then into a healthy marriage.

It wasn't always easy going, we had at times to work really hard not to trigger each other or be more compassionate and gentle, but these were always great learning experiences too.
