[tyme]

On Thursday 20th June 2024, we will be holding a Peer Group Chat on the topic of Internal Conflict.

 We’ve all experienced internal conflict at various points of our lives; it can be a minor issue as we wrestle with a difficult decision, or it can be an ongoing tension between different parts of our inner world. Join us as we chat about these experiences, and how we might approach them.

The event start times across Australia are below:

This is currently held in Australian Eastern Standard hours:

WA: 5pm

NT: 6:30pm

SA: 6:30pm 

QLD: 7pm

NSW, ACT, VIC & TAS: 7pm 

For anyone unfamiliar with Peer Group Chats, each focuses on a specific topic and is guided by Peer Workers with lived experience of mental health issues and recovery, &/or caring for someone with complex mental health. A counsellor is also present as a moderator to help ensure a safe environment for individuals and the group. It is a space for us as peers to share our stories and experiences, and connect with those who are going through something similar. 

Peer Group Chats are hosted outside of the forums, using a platform called Chatwee. To join an Online Peer Group Chat, you will need to register for an account with Chatwee. On the night, follow this link and log in to your Chatwee account before the group starts.

@Glisten , this is your recommended topic from a few chats back.

[ArraDreaming]

No thanks

[Glisten]

@tyme  Really? Thank you.

I must have been reading a book at the time. 
Hilarious, because I don’t remember 😆 and now I have to look up what Internal Conflict means.

I hope this is PTSD and not Alzheimer’s.

[tyme]

Lol @Glisten . Oh well, that's okay. We'd still love to have you!

Hey @monket ,

Welcome to the forums! We are having a Peer Group Chat tomorrow on the topic of Internal Conflict if you want to join 🙂 See above for details.

@tyme  I Googled Internal Conflict and I remember why I asked for the topic.

My family and friends are multicultural diverse.

A social activist most of my life, racism, sexism and bigotry I generally have a measured response.

My ex-narc, career based on human rights.7 years into our relationship, he would deliberately and constantly say sexist things about female athletes and laugh when one of his mates would horribly degrade professional women.

Every Christmas I had to go to his sister’s house for lunch and listen to her bigotry.

It was like waking up in enemy territory. I would never choose to be around these people. But no indication of their horrible values for 7 years. That’s not normal.

What does this do to my brain 🧠 and nervous system?

Whoah, @Glisten  that is a heavy anecdote, but it really does provide a context for 'internal conflict' as a real life drama wiith cinsequences

[Glisten]

Thanks @7cough9 I learn a lot from you in the PGC.

Context is everything to me.
