Writing about therapy responsibly means a few rules we don't break, even when they're inconvenient for content production.
We don't use fear, shame, or worst-case scenarios to convince someone they need therapy. If a page reads like it's diagnosing you, that's a mistake we want to fix — let us know.
Nothing on this site replaces a conversation with a licensed professional. We describe situations and point toward help — we don't diagnose, prescribe, or tell you what's "wrong" with you.
We partner with BetterHelp and may earn a commission when you sign up through our links, at no extra cost to you. This is disclosed on every page. It does not influence what we write — our content exists independently of any specific offer.
Every page on this site that touches on serious emotional distress includes the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. We do this even though it's not required, because we'd rather a page feel slightly less "clean" than risk someone not finding help in an emergency.
Every page is built around a real, specific situation someone might be going through — not just a search term we're trying to rank for. If a topic doesn't deserve its own page, we don't make one just to pad the site.
Our content is researched and drafted with the help of AI language models, then structured and reviewed against the standards above. We believe in being transparent about this rather than pretending otherwise. The goal of every page is the same regardless of how it was drafted: does this genuinely help the person reading it?
If you ever read something on this site that feels wrong, harmful, or inaccurate, please tell us. We take that seriously and will fix it.
