Outside Perspective
Send one specific situation or dilemma (up to 500 characters)
$5.00
Tell me the situation, who is involved, and the specific decision you need help making. I will respond within 24 hours on weekdays.
The fee covers the analysis of one specific situation or dilemma.
My response will be emailed to you and comes from an unmonitored mailbox. If you submit more than one, I will have to use my best judgement to pick the most important one and focus on that.
Please read and agree to the following before submitting your inquiry:
1. Not Professional Counseling or Therapy
This service provides objective, third-party feedback and general life strategy. I am not a licensed therapist, psychologist, medical provider, or attorney. This service is not a substitute for professional mental health care, medical treatment, financial advising, or legal counsel.
2. Personal Responsibility and Liability
The perspective provided is based solely on the limited context you share in this form. You are entirely responsible for the choices you make and the actions you take (or do not take) following our correspondence. By submitting this form, you agree that this service and its operator are not liable for any outcomes, damages, or consequences resulting from your decisions.
3. Right of Refusal
I reserve the right to decline and immediately refund any inquiry that falls outside the scope of friendly advice, requires licensed professional intervention, or cannot be safely addressed in a single text exchange.
4. Not for Emergencies
This is an asynchronous service with a guaranteed response time, not a live chat. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, considering harming yourself or others, or facing an immediate emergency, do not use this form. Please dial 911 or reach out to the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988.
