In recognition of Mental Health & Trauma Awareness Month, TAR Network™ is proud to announce the launch of TAR Anon™ worldwide! Together with CPTSD Foundation and WeHealUS, we are creating an international fellowship aimed at aiding recovery from Toxic Abusive Relationships (TAR), utilizing TAR Network’s 12-step recovery model.
Trauma from TAR has devastating effects on victim’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Sadly, countless people around the world are silently trying to heal the scars left by such experiences. Millions of people suffer from the long-term effects of trauma, feeling isolated and misunderstood.
With hearts overflowing with compassion and unwavering determination, we, the team at TAR Network™, are bursting with pride to unveil the May 2024 worldwide launch of TAR Anon™! In partnership with our allies at CPTSD Foundation and WeHealUS®, and in profound recognition of Mental Health & Trauma Awareness Month, this global fellowship emerges as a beacon of hope, offering solace and support to survivors of Toxic Abusive Relationships (TAR) through the nurturing embrace of TAR Network’s 12-Step Recovery
Model.
The wounds inflicted by TAR cut deep, shredding the fabric of one’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Countless souls across the globe are fighting silent battles against these demons, piecing together shattered selves, and tending to wounds that refuse to heal. Millions suffer under the weight of long-term trauma, feeling lost, isolated, and profoundly misunderstood. This permeates intimate relationships, worksites, children, families, and even family and professional caregivers worldwide.
Why Support TAR Anon?
TAR Anon extends a safe place based on our common humanity to those navigating the tumultuous aftermath of TAR. It serves as a sanctuary, a haven of understanding, empathy, and shared experiences—crucial elements in the sacred journey of healing. Your generous contribution to TAR Anon paves the way for a global network where survivors can seek refuge, find support, and grasp the tools necessary to reclaim their lives from the shadows of abuse.
A Vital Cause
Mental Health & Trauma Awareness Month serves as a poignant reminder of the pervasive complex trauma that haunts our society’s shadows. It is a time to cast light upon the struggles of survivors, those impacted by the collateral damage, to champion their needs, and to foster a culture of unwavering compassion and support. Through our collective voice, we aim to create a world where healing is not just a distant dream, but a tangible reality where the stigma surrounding trauma is shattered, and every survivor’s voice echoes with resonance and validation.

I listened to the WellMed event today, and I truly resonated with what Dr. Jamie was discussing. I am just now realizing at the age of 72 that I have been in a marital relationship with a narcissistic man for more than 36 years. After having devoted almost a lifetime of spiritual growth and consciousness training, I realize after having read so many good books, Don Miguel Ruiz – ‘The 4 Agreements’ and the Fifth one, too! , and Brene Brown, and also watched many videos of Dr. Ramani and am now reading her book, “Should I Stay or Should I Go?” that it was not ME!! — The betrayal, the gaslighting, the love bombing, all of it! Despite all this, I am wondering if I am too old to make this choice to leave. I know I am getting stronger and handling things differently, (which is frustrating my husband, which perpetuates the attitude), but I am getting insecure about managing myself financially if we split up. If I decide to end this toxicity and become my true advocate, do I tell him to leave the house? Get the locks changed? I think I’m freaking out about the collateral damage more than I am excited about the prospect of feeling intimacy again, or even what happiness might feel like without the abuse! I guess I need counseling! Thanks for the inspiring event today. I wish I had seen the whole thing!
