Most likely, members have noticed a title beneath each person's screenname on the WoN forum. Member status is automatically calculated each time a member posts a message. Forum administrators do not have a Healing Chart ranking individual recovery. Please don't take it personally if you're new to WoN but have posted thousands of messages on other N-forums.
Newbie means we're making one another's acquaintance and creating new relationships with WoN community members.
Newbie status is not a measure of your competence or knowledge.
Most longtimers on message boards have an intuitive understanding of the online recovery process, which means: the more we put our experiences and feelings into words, the more self-aware and confident we become. There's something about capturing our emotions with words that encourages us to face the truth.
Writing grounds us in reality.
Writing to others keeps us honest and less likely to rationalize or deny the truth/reality.
Because its very likely that anyone who
was in or
is in a narcissistic relationship, also suffers post-traumatic-stress to some degree, the WoN forum uses Survivor-Thriver-Hero as our healing model.
Hugs all,
