Welcome to this special community. May it bring you healing. There is no cost to join.

Healing occurs best when people feel safe. For your safety and the community’s safety, please review and confirm your agreement with these guidelines prior to creating your user profile.

Profile Anonymity Tips:

  • Create a unique user name: Create a user name completely different from one that you’ve used before (less traceable).

Safety Guidelines:

  • If you are unsafe, please immediately contact local police and/or licensed professionals who can best support you.
  • Neither I nor anyone in this community can ever have enough context to properly offer sound and actionable advice.
  • Please note that I’m not a licensed mental health or medical provider of any sort. I’m also not skilled in the ways that social workers and police/safety officers are.
  • Before acting on advice given by community members or me, review this advice with licensed professionals and/or those who know you and your situation best.

Kindness Guidelines:

In order to maintain an atmosphere of respect for all users, we ask that everyone treat each other with respect and follow these simple Community Engagement Terms when commenting or posting. Individuals who do not follow the Terms may be blocked from posting (but we have a great community so we don’t expect this to happen much at all!). We monitor user-generated content: we choose and reserve the right to remove or reject a posting or comment for any reason at any time.

  • Be Social – Comment sections are social in nature so feel free to interact with other members and start a dialogue – just keep it clean, relevant and kind.
  • Keep it clean and respectful – We do not allow comments that attack an individual or organization. Inappropriate or offensive language (excessive use of profanity), personal attacks, sharing of anyone else’s private/confidential information, or false information are not permitted and are subject to deletion and/or blocking the user indefinitely.
  • No Spam – Comments considered Spam will automatically be deleted.
  • No Links or Advertising – Comments that promote, advertise, include links to your own or other commercial material or websites will be deleted.
  • No sharing of your personal name or contact information (including but not limited to phone numbers, emails, social profile links). All interactions between members should remain on this site.
