- No psychological help, opinions, or advice.: This subreddit is not to get psychological help, opinions, or advice. All client questions, posts, and comments will be removed. All homework questions will be removed. This subreddit is intended for psychotherapists and students studying in psychotherapy programs.
- Only posts and comments from those providing therapy in a licensed capacity allowed.

- Posts should protect the identity of the client.
- specifics about clients are allowed (including ages), summarize into themes instead of quotes, even if the quotes are made up. Saying "I changed the demographics" isn't enough
- protected health information or personal information about clients should be posted on this subreddit by anyone. If you can't figure out a way to post in themes instead of specifics, then you need to take the case to an in-person colleague or supervisor first.
- All posts must include discussion points.
- posting just an article or a link without contextualizing what you would like to get from the post
- posts where you are just venting and don't want to engage on the topic. If you post, plan to be an active respondent in the discussion that emerges.
- No self-marketing, self-promotion, or surveys.: Links to personal websites, blogs, or promoting apps (or app development) will be removed. Links to the new subreddit you just started will be removed. Posts for self-marketing will be removed. Job postings will be removed. We ask that users interact and participate in discussions. Surveys are not permitted. Surveying the sub to see how users feel about being surveyed is not permitted.
- No harassing, racist, stigma-enforcing, or unrelated comments or posts.: This is not the place to be disgruntled about therapy, therapists, or to complain or harass others
- ad hominem attacks-attack the argument not the person. These posts and comments will be removed unless they are highly related to the discussion. Relevance will be determined by the moderators.
- Falsely posing as a therapist.: If you post on this subreddit, the assumption is made that you are a therapist. Users that falsely post as if they were a therapist will be permanently banned. Claiming you didn't say you were a therapist isn't an argument against this rule. Users may be asked to submit proof of their status as a practicing therapist to appeal a ban.
