Narc Hotline Phone Exchange (idea for Lisa and other admins and group to bat around)

I am wondering if it would be possible for those of us interested to make a list of our phone numbers and hand that list over to Lisa who could then private message it to the members of the group so that we can have someone to call when we r in trouble and we need to talk to another person in the group. It seems like a lot of the posts this week have been cries for immediate help. I have a couple of numbers of people I have met in the group already, but it would be nice to have a list of volunteers in the group who could list their best times for people to call them in a crisis and also what time zone they are in so the person in crisis could decide who best to call.

Any thoughts??? xoxoxo

Great idea PG!

Great idea PG! I would be happy to coordinate this. I'm going back to work in a week. I found a job....finally! After I start making some money, I would like to get a 1-800 number and pay whomever is interested to be available. We would have to run it in shifts, of course, but basically, start a crisis hot-line for victims of narcissists. Goldie makes a great point. If there's someone whose style resonates with you, send them a PM and make arrangements to talk. I know most of our Moderators would be happy to offer coaching over the phone. They would set their own individual rates, of course. Feel free to reach out to them directly if interested. The PM feature is here for you to communicate directly with those you feel the most connection with on the board. If I can help facilitate that in any way, just let me know. Thanks!

Awesome! I happen to love your "tough love" approach!!! That is how I am most of the time (especially with myself) but I may need you to kick me in the ass a few times, now and then! I am in Pacific Time Zone. Thank You-You Rock!

We had talked about doing this before

That was before we had the private messaging. I believe at this point it makes sense to exchange phone numbers through the messaging feature. I have given my number out to members in crisis from time to time and of course you are welcome to message any of the moderators or members anytime. I think what would work well is if you relate to a certain member and like their "stlye" then message them and find out their time zone and willingness to chat on the phone. When I was new, I had what I would call a sponsor from on here, who walked me through the process and was a great daily support system for me off board. That is something that a memeber could offer you or you could ask for. Goldie

p.s. for instance I was

p.s. for instance I was supposed to have a phone exchange with another member of the group this week and I could not find privacy or time between my small sons and my husband always being around, and it would have been nice for her to have someone to call when I couldn't speak.
