WoN is an adjunct to professional therapy, providing safe and easy access to online group support.
Our intention is to support trained professionals who understand the impact of people with personality disorders on family members and society in general. We do not encourage forum members to eliminate professional therapy. Our intention is to serve as auxiliary support while each individual continues working with his or her choice of treatment, therapy, counselor and/or psychologist.
We do not advocate sole reliance on the WoN forum for information and support. As nonprofessionals, we value collective wisdom and experience; however, our advice is not meant to be a substitute for professional treatment.
We encourage members to seek professional counseling and private therapy.
We also encourage participation in 12-step support groups while working through the relational trauma resulting from a pathological relationship.
Love,
Charlotte
