My Support Forums - Mental Health Support Groups

Get emotional support and friendship from others like you!

Welcome to My Support Forums, a private online community of emotional and mental health support groups. Since 2001, we have provided a safe, supportive place online to share your thoughts & feelings, get support and advice, share your wins and stories, all without judgement. Overseen by a caring team of volunteers from around the world. Dr. John Grohol, the founder of the Psych Central mental health site, also founded and continues to oversee this private community to provide a safe, supportive home for people seeking help with a life or mental health issue.

This thread can be for anyone who needs support to disengage from anything that is triggering to them.

Rather than fight, flight, freeze or fawn responses to anxiety provoking triggers, to disengage is to calmly stop, or walk away, or keep silent or speak calmly.

After fruitlessly doing the above trauma responses, I am hoping disengaging will bring about better results, letting the moment of conflict pass without incident.
