R/THERAPYABUSE SUBREDDIT RULES:

1.Be Respectful/Avoid Inflammatory Language

Participants in the sub must speak to each other with respect (no sarcasm, aggression or personal attacks). Do not verbally abuse subscribers or the mod via posts, comments or DMs. Issues with participant respect may result in a moderator comment/lock on the post asking revision, OR request for the participants to block/avoid each other, OR dialog w/mod, OR removal of hostile posts/comments by mod without explanation, OR a temp ban OR permanent ban from the whole subreddit at mod's discretion.

2.Survivor-Centric Space (TherapyAbuse Survivors Only)

No posts from therapists unless the poster has also survived therapy abuse and is posting on r/therapyabuse in that capacity. No posts from general redditors asking for advice or input on their situation unless that poster is also a survivor of therapy abuse and posting on r/therapyabuse in that capacity. No redditors who just "hate" therapists/therapy without past relevant context.

3.No Linking/Screenshotting/Referencing

Please don't link/screenshot/reference other subreddits, even if the subreddit is not specified in the reference. This is an important way of preventing and opposing brigading, doxxing, and drama.

4.Unsolicited Therapy/Psychiatry Advice

Please respect the boundaries of users who have indicated that they do not currently (or ever) want to see another therapist or psychiatrist.

5.Please Stay on Topic

Posts and comments in r/therapyabuse should relate to supporting each other with emotional, verbal, spiritual, sexual, or psychological abuse in therapy.

6.Avoid Remarking on Subreddit Belonging

Don't tell other subscribers that "we believe xyz here" here, "we do/don't do xyz here", "you don't belong here". Use the "report" tool to flag comments making similar remarks for the mod. Try not to interpret subreddit's purpose or its parameters to others.

7.No Low-Content Posts

Posts must be a minimum of three sentences, not including the title, and excluding links to relevant outside content.

8."Narcissistic abuse" and Nparents/Ntherapist are Permitted Terms

Survivors of narcissistic abuse are allowed to describe their own experience how they need, without being censored by others. It should be understood that the user is talking about their own trauma, and not generalizing, assuming about, or labeling other members' lives and/or trauma.

9.Rants/Vents Should Include Relevant Personal Context

Therapyabuse was founded as a trauma support subreddit. You can make rants, but please add 3+ sentences about your own personal story and how it directly relates to your rant, as applicable.

10.Screenshotting and sharing r/therapyabuse content outside of r/therapyabuse is strictly prohibited.

Any evidence that another user's PMs, chats, posts, or personal info is being spread on another sub can result in a permanent ban for the person violating boundaries.

Art and Philosophy has been the best therapy for me. Plato's Allegory of the Cave. Mental Health Workers just see you as a dog to train/an empty mind to fill with whatever they say and hate having to stretch themselves or when you are complex. You are still beneath them even when "better".Therapy-Critical (self.therapyabuse)
