Community Guidelines & Boundaries
(Please read — this protects everyone) This space exists to support awareness, regulation, and grounded connection. To keep it safe and sustainable, a few boundaries matter. These aren’t rules to restrict you — they’re here to protect the quality of the space. ⸻ 1. This is not therapy or crisis support This community is educational and reflective in nature. • It does not replace therapy, medical care, or crisis services • If you are in acute emotional distress, outside professional support is essential You are welcome here — but this space cannot hold crisis-level needs. ⸻ 2. Share with intention, not intensity Growth here happens through clarity, not emotional flooding. Please avoid: • Trauma dumping • Graphic details • Long, un-contained personal stories Short, reflective sharing is encouraged. One or two sentences is often enough. ⸻ 3. No fixing, diagnosing, or advising others This is important. Do not: • Tell others what they should do • Analyze or diagnose someone’s behaviour • Try to “save” or correct another member If you respond, respond with: • Curiosity • Reflection • Your own experience (without comparison) Presence > advice. ⸻ 4. Silence is allowed You are not required to post, comment, or introduce yourself. Reading quietly, observing, and taking time to integrate is valid participation. There is no pressure to perform growth here. ⸻ 5. Respect privacy and confidentiality What is shared here stays here. • No screenshots • No sharing stories outside the group • No discussing other members elsewhere This space relies on trust. ⸻ 1. Respectful communication only This is a grounded, emotionally intelligent space. Not allowed: • Shaming • Hostility • Dismissive or belittling language • Debates meant to win rather than understand Different perspectives are welcome. Disrespect is not. ⸻ 7. Boundaries with the facilitator To protect the integrity of the space: • Coaching happens inside the group or in paid containers • Direct messages are not used for private coaching or crisis support.
