Social Media Policy & Disclaimer
General Disclaimer
The content shared on my social media accounts is designed to provide general information and educational resources related to mental health and religious harm recovery. While I strive to provide accurate information, I cannot guarantee it will always be free from errors. Information posted to my social media accounts are for educational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for psychotherapy. Engaging with me or this content (either through comments or direct messages) does not establish a client-therapist relationship.
Content Development
The opinions expressed on my social media accounts reflect my professional views, formulated from my advanced education, clinical experience, and personal background. It's important to note that the field of religious trauma research is relatively new, with limited peer-reviewed articles available for reference. Therefore, my content is a blend of anecdotal evidence from my clinical work in religious harm recovery and research on related topics, such as C-PTSD and attachment theory. This composite approach allows me to provide unique perspectives and fresh insights for those recovering from religious harm, while remaining within a framework of well-established research.
While the concepts I reference are informed by research, it’s important to note that social media content is not academic writing and does not follow formal citation practices. None of my content is directly quoted from anyone else's work, and I do not knowingly copy the work of researchers or other content creators. The terminology I use, such as "religious trauma," "purity culture," "cults," etc. are widely accepted terms that are not proprietary and cannot be attributed to a single writer or researcher, which means terms such as these are not citable.
If you have concerns that any content posted to my social media or other public-facing accounts is copied or plagiarized, please send an email to my admin assistant (hello@religiousharmrecovery.com) with a screenshot of the material in question and what you believe the original source to be, and we will investigate the matter promptly.
Comments
Comments may be turned off on some of my posts. Though I appreciate the support from community members and the opportunity for survivors to connect with one another, comment sections are being increasingly targeted by bots and trolls, which compromises the safety of this space. Due to the time-intensive nature of moderating the comment section in order to keep it free from abuse, harmful language and "trolling," I may choose to turn off commenting on some posts.
Privacy & Confidentiality
Please remember that social media is a public platform, and any interaction you have with my content may be visible to others. Do not share personal or sensitive information in comments or direct messages. If you have specific concerns or need support, please contact a licensed mental health professional directly.
Updates & Changes
I reserve the right to update or change this policy at any time to reflect updates to my practice, changes in industry standards, or adjustments to social media platform guidelines. Any significant changes will be communicated to my followers.
