So your inferring that those who share their experience within any organization do so to flourish or prosper or to realize their goal? You may be right if their goal is to heal. Sometimes we have to have confrontation to heal.
May I suggest a book about religious addiction. Breaking The Chains by Father Leo Booth (and no he isnt Catholic, he is Episcopalian). One might gain insight into others hurts.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to be lectured about others hurts in this venue. Yes, people have been hurt. But to really heal one has to realize many wounds are also self-inflicted. But you will rarely hear any of these folks admit to the errors they made that aggravated the situation.
And you have to want to be healed in order to be healed. When one continually comes back to pointing out the hurts they suffered and the failing they have seen, then yes, I believe they are thriving on such things. They cannot live without the being able to point to the scars of being wounded. I would rather point to the scars of healing. Just me, I reckon.
