Sharing Corner Agreements
We're delighted that you're willing to contribute to our understanding of common humanity with your own sharing. We've outlined some guidelines for sharing to help ensure that this space remains supportive and safe for everyone.
Stay on topic
- Keep discussions focused on the guiding questions. This ensures that the group remains a focused resource for everyone seeking support.
Speak for yourself
- Your share should represent your own experience. Please avoid directly responding to other members' shares, especially in terms of fixing or giving advice.
Avoid specifics or providing too many details
- Please refrain from sharing a lot of personal details. Instead of focusing on the particulars, the focus is how self-compassion relates to what's happening in our lives. It's helpful to speak in more general terms like “I’m facing a challenge in my relationship with my child/partner” or "I've been struggling emotionally" or "something traumatic happened." Especially avoid describing the details of traumatic situations or experiences that might trigger distress in others such as drug use, violence, abuse, or suicidal thoughts.
Show respect and compassion
- Please make sure that your sharing is respectful and compassionate to all human beings, including yourself!
No promotional content
- We ask that you don’t promote personal services, products, or events occurring outside the community, and focus on your personal experience.
Confidentiality
- Respect confidentiality and avoid discussing what others have shared in the Sharing Corner with others.
Remember, this group is here to foster a sense of connection and support on your self-compassion journey. If you come across a post that violates these guidelines, please report it to a moderator via sharing.corner@self-compassion.org. By following these guidelines, we can create a safe and welcoming space for everyone. Thank you for being part of our community!
If you haven’t already done so, we enourage you to go to your user profile and choose a display name and avatar that can represent you in the Sharing Corner
