Where do I start?... I first joined Sharewell in Oct of 2022, I originally joined after separating from my wife of 10yrs, she was a narcissist and there was a lot of emotional, psychological and verbal abuse, but my breaking point was when she became addicted to morphine and refused to receive help, as a recovering addict I had to choose between her or my sobriety as I have continually getting triggered and craving, as she refused to get help I had no choice but to leave. This was one of the hardest times in my life and I needed support and community, as she'd effectively isolated me completely by the end of our relationship, that's when I stumbled upon Sharewell, I found a community of peers that understood my situation that knew what it was like to go through NPD abuse. Shortly after joining I unfortunately relapsed with my drinking, I'd been sober for 10yrs, I religiously went to the recovery meetings on sharewell along with other recovery meetings I received info about through Sharewell, I continued going to session whether I was in hospital, detox or rehab I Sharewelled through it all and my fellow Sharewellians were right by my side supporting me and cheering me on... Fast forward to now and I'm a completely new person, I'm 2.5yrs sober, and starting just over a year ago i myself became a host on Sharewell, I started off with hosting one session and I now run 5 different sessions something each day of the week. It has helped make me a stronger person with myself, it has helped me come out of a severe depression, out of my alcoholism, with my agoraphobia and with my social anxiety. Sharewell has become an integral part of my healing journey and it's been a pleasure growing along side it, as well as watching people that I've gotten to know grow and flourish on the site. If you need mental health support and a community that understands what your going through I can't suggest Sharewell highly enough, it has literally changed my life and I will always be grateful for that.

Sharewell has been life-changing for me. I found the platform during a time when I felt completely alone — navigating physical and mental health challenges, childhood and adult trauma, and the emotional impact of being laid off. I couldn’t afford therapy anymore, and I was searching for something that could offer real connection and support. That’s when I found Sharewell. Over the past two years, I’ve both participated in and hosted sessions. The experience has been incredible — not just because of the thoughtful, caring people I’ve met, but because of the way Sharewell is built. The platform is intuitive and welcoming, and the team behind it genuinely cares. You can feel it in every interaction. The biggest gift Sharewell gave me was a sense of community and belonging — the ability to feel seen, heard, and understood at any time I needed it most. During some of my darkest moments, being able to show up to a peer-led session gave me hope and reminded me that I wasn’t alone. I don’t use Sharewell every day anymore — and that’s a testament to how much healing I’ve been able to do. But for a while, I relied on it heavily. It was critical in helping me get to a more grounded and empowered place in my life. If you’re struggling, or even just seeking real human connection, I can’t recommend Sharewell enough. It’s not therapy — it’s something uniquely powerful: peer-to-peer support that feels safe, real, and deeply human. And sometimes, that’s exactly what we need.

In exchange for leading support groups, people get free months of using the website. Many of the people leading these groups are nice but they are often uneducated, knowitalls, or mentally unwell. It is cr.azy to think that someone needing support or help is now placed in the position of offering help instead of receiving it. Site operates like high school too. If you genuinely have the ability to help people on their growth journey you won't be supported by site management. The site has "favorites." While on you.tube one day, I saw the favorites in a promo video for the site. New Favorites also tend to be pretty people and handsome men (regardless of whether they have healing skills or not). Old favorites are the ones that were on the site when it first started. Soon you learn to back out of groups after you have been re-traumatized by a toxic group leader. Soon you stop offering to lead groups because only the favorites are supported. For the price, this is a great resource. My best advice..leave the group if the group starts to upset you. For example: there was a lady that never contributed to any group she attended because of disassociation. Imagine my surprise when this same lady started leading popular groups. Be safe out there. P.S. the pro sessions used to be free, now you only get 1 free per month

Horrific company. Paid for a subscription, didn’t like the sessions at all, and the company refused to refund my money. They then disabled my account so I couldn’t tell anyone what happened. The sessions are peer-lead so they are a shit show. My issues became worse from it.

As a sharewell user these are the things I found. One many come her to find their next love interest. Just wait you will notice. Two the groups are peer run by people who have never been to therapy much less school to know how to run a group. Three you go to ten groups and each group you introduce yourself and that is it. There are many and by the time each person does this the session is over. Never getting help with ways to cope or change. Four they now have a pro session that cost you more to use Personally if you want true help you won’t get it here. If you want to just vent you won’t get it here. I have been on here for around five months and had one good session. I got resources and information to move forward with. I wouldn’t waste my money. Sharewell you will rebuttal this but truth is truth you made that pro session and chanted more to use it

Three years ago I lost my husband and was advised by a therapist that group therapy with peers may help me with my grief. I searched the web and found Sharewell. I joined on a trial run and have stayed because the peer session helped me not only with grief but the depression I am feeling. Each session I go to the host gives me time to express how I’m feeling at that time and there is feedback from like souls. If you need space to express freely this is the platform I recommend..

"Monday Coffe, Tea or Hot chocolate and Milk Club" What a great way to start my week!! I love the relaxed chatting & positivity. Susan does a great job of hosting.

The first honest thing you should know is that ShareWell gives members a free month for writing a 5-Star review! Consider that while you read the 5-Star reviews. Here is my opinion, unbiased and honest experiences on ShareWell. ShareWell is supposed to be a compliment to seeing a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, but it is not. Members brag about firing their Therapist in sessions. They also bash Licensed Therapists. This occurred in several groups that I attended, which I found disturbing. ShareWell is not supposed to be a replacement for Therapy with a Licensed Therapist, but many members have chosen to do so and encourage others to do so. I was verbally attacked by a member because I reminded her of her Mother, and I do not feel that ShareWell provided sufficient support for that incident. I was just told sorry and encouraged to learn to be more assertive while hosting. Some members are rude, selfish, and inconsiderate and disregard the topic of the session and make it their own instead of respect the Host and other group members. For example, an Art Group should be fun and stress relief. On several occasions, I witnessed a member in my own group and other hosts Art Groups enter the session and start crying and talking about her abusive husband or how her parents abused her as a child. ShareWell only has one person in charge of all the volunteer hosts! They offer support sessions, but not enough of them! They should be offered at various times and days so that the hosts have more access and can ask more questions and receive more training and guidance. I tried to email the person in charge of the hosts to ask questions and gain more support, but for months my emails went to her Spam box and were left unanswered. After hosting a few sessions, I soon realized that I was in over my head and just how insufficient the host training was! There was nothing in the training course to prepare a host for when a member comes in and wants to ignore the topic and tone of the group and turn it into their own Trauma Dump Session or when a Member enters the group and is blasting loud club music and is behaving like they could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or starts discussing being suspended from work for sexual harassment of a co-worker. I am angry and resent ShareWell for using and exploiting me! I feel that if ShareWell really does care about people as they claim that they should give, a low income person who lost a loved one should receive a free year of ShareWell Unlimited with proof of loss and low income. Even Walmart and Amazon offer discounted rates on memberships to people on public assistance! Since the hosts are not Licensed Professionals are not paid, they could easily afford to gift a free annual unlimited membership to someone who is indigent and lose a loved one if they really cared about people and want to support people struggling with mental health challenges as they claim. ShareWell takes advantage and exploits people like me who are living in poverty and lost their Mother for profits. I resent that in order to receive sufficient support that I must host in exchange for a free month. ShareWell took advantage of my need for support during my grief, and I was pushed beyond my limits. As a result, I am burned out and depressed. I think it is rotten of ShareWell to exploit and use people who need support for mental health struggles and profit from struggling people hosting before they are ready to host just so that they can earn a free month and continue to receive support. This is just my opinion based on my experience. I have come to believe that ShareWell is more toxic for me than supportive. Very few sessions were beneficial for me. Most sessions are members venting and crying, and I feel frustrated, re-traumatized, or triggered. I have decided that I no longer want to place my Mental Health in the hands of volunteers who lack the training and support necessary or host sessions. ShareWell exploits people during the lowest point in their lives! ShareWell is no better than Social Media for support!
