New Comments Policy

Hi Everyone,

I want to let you know that I have instituted a new Comments Policy. It is very important that you adhere to the guidelines presented here so that we can avoid any potential legal problems. It is especially important that you do not use actual names of any abusive therapists. That is not what this site is for. The purpose of this site is to provide support for victims of abuse and resources for healing. We cannot use it as a place to name names.

I hope that you can understand the need for the policy and respect it. I want to provide a place where people can speak about their stories with safety and freedom, but we do need to take some care in order to avoid any negative consequences.

As this is a recently implemented policy, if you see something on the site that seems questionable to you, please let me know.

I’ve included the policy below.

Thank you for your support!

  • Kristi you are a nice person (it comes over in the way you write) I respect your point of view but others are questionable and I had to speak out – I just had to alert people.
    Namaste
    (I wont be posting on here anymore).

    • I understand. I have to take care to avoid legal consequences of people posting actual names, so I needed to make changes. I would not want to have to take the site down as a result of a defamation suit or something of that nature. I hope you can understand and respect that. It would be different if legal action had been taken against the person in question and they had been convicted or had to surrender their license, but since everyone is innocent until proven guilty, if we report them as guilty and name names, then we could be sued for slander or defamation of character. And that would not be a good thing! I’m not willing to take those chances.

      All the best to you!
