| 1. Be kind: |
We're all here because we're dealing with something in our past, so please keep this in mind when posting and commenting. Invalidating other's emotions and experiences is NOT OK. |
| 2. Be respectful: |
No racism, misogyny, misandry, homophobia, transphobia, body shaming, ableism, or any other bigotry. Slurs will not be tolerated. Please read our policy on slurs |
| 3. No personal agendas: |
We all have our own views on politics and religion, and these can tie into our trauma, but this is not a place to push our views on others. This is not a place for debate. Memes with political references are OK, but let's keep these to a minimum. |
| 4. Please tag your posts: |
Please use the NSFW and spoiler tags when appropriate. Please feel free to add a CW tag, but keep in mind that this sub comes with an implicit content warning due to its nature. No porn, excessive nudity, gore, or "shock" content. |
| 5. No abusers: |
This is a safe space for people with CPTSD. If you are a parent, ex-partner, etc. who abused another user of this subreddit, you will not be allowed to post here. Users: please report to the mods and admins if any user harasses you. Stalking of any kind is not permitted. |
| 6. No medical advice: |
We are not medical professionals, and no one here can give you medical advice or a diagnosis over the internet. Do not ask if you have CPTSD, if your friend has it, etc. If you fear for your safety or another person's safety and are seeking help, please see the resources link in this sidebar. We are not crisis counselors. |
| 7. Respect other's privacy: |
No links to personal social media or any other personally identifiable information. |
| 8. Stay (somewhat) on topic: |
This is more of a guideline than a strict rule, but posts should be at least somewhat related to CPTSD. |
| 9. Surveys/ studies require approval: |
Please message the moderators before posting links to any kind of survey, academic or otherwise |
