HEALING THE SCAPEGOAT WOUND FSA EDUCATION COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
The below guidelines are intended to promote a welcoming, safe, and supportive environment for everyone in our paid / free subscriber community.
Our community is growing! I appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining this space as one that prioritizes healing, compassion, respect, and a sense of emotional safety for all members - especially our new members, who often feel very vulnerable when first participating in comments and can be highly sensitive (and understandably adverse) to conflict-ridden interactions due to their FSA history and painful family experiences.
NOTICE: We specifically do not engage in ‘gang stalking’ discussions (or similar). We are not equipped to help you process this phenomenon. Members violating this policy will be removed from my Substack and a refund may or may not be issued. Thank you for your cooperation.
INTERNATIONAL SUICIDE HOTLINE: FSA can result in thoughts of self-harm. If you feel in danger of hurting yourself, please reach out to the suicide hotline listed for your country by visiting this link: https://blog.opencounseling.com/suicide-hotlines/
FSA EDUCATION COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
Purpose: To maintain a “Safe Enough” environment for primary research and survivor validation.
1. THE NON-PROJECTION PRINCIPLE (NO SCAPEGOATING)
Zero Tolerance for Labeling: This is a sanctuary from the systemic dynamics of projection. We do not pathologize or attack members, critics, or public figures.
Speak from the “I”: Share your subjective experience. Avoid unsolicited advice or binary “you/they” diagnostics.
Nuance over Binaries: We move beyond “villain” narratives to understand Systemic Dysfunction and Shadow Projection.
2. INTELLECTUAL & BOUNDARY INTEGRITY
No Solicitation: Private contact solicitation (email, phone, handles) is strictly prohibited. This is not a marketplace for “fishing” clients or subscribers.
Confidentiality: Shares within private threads are strictly confidential.
Authorized Frameworks Only: Do not promote external links or “recovery” content that deviates from the core FSA/Holistic curriculum.
3. THE “SAFE ENOUGH” NEUTRALITY
Politics & Religion: While these factors often fuel FSA, this forum is for healing, not proselytizing. Keep references to personal faith/politics minimal and centered on how they impacted your recovery. Debates are not permitted.
No “Gang Stalking” Content: We are not equipped for this phenomenon. Discussion of it is prohibited.
4. THE “NO SECOND CHANCE” ENFORCEMENT
Sovereign Right to Evict: The Founder reserves the right to ban anyone at any time to protect the community. No “explanations” or “debates” regarding bans will be entered into.
Anti-Harassment: Bullying the Founder or members—including via email or Direct Messages—results in an immediate, permanent ban and reporting to Substack.
