Welcome. Here's what this program is, what it isn't, and how we'll create a safe and productive learning environment together.

Participant Agreement

By joining the Surviving to Thriving Membership, purchasing a course, participating in a program, or using ST:AR Model materials, you agree to the following:

The purpose of this program is to help participants better observe their own patterns. It is not intended to analyze, diagnose, or change other people.

Participants remain solely responsible for decisions regarding relationships, employment, finances, medical care, legal matters, and other significant life choices.

Is this a good fit?

The ST:AR Model is designed for adults who wish to explore patterns of adaptation through education, reflection, and guided practice.

It is not intended for crisis intervention or as a substitute for psychotherapy or medical care. If you are currently experiencing significant psychological distress, thoughts of self-harm, active addiction, domestic violence, or another situation requiring immediate professional support, this program is unlikely to be the appropriate first step.

Work at Your Own Pace

Some concepts or exercises may bring awareness to difficult memories or emotions.

You are encouraged to work at a pace that feels appropriate for you. Taking breaks, slowing down, or choosing not to participate in a particular exercise is completely acceptable.

Role of the Facilitator

The facilitator's role is to teach the ST:AR framework, guide educational discussions, and maintain a respectful learning environment.

The facilitator does not provide psychotherapy, diagnosis, crisis counseling, legal advice, or individualized treatment.

1. Educational Purpose

The ST:AR Model and all related memberships, courses, programs, tools, and materials are educational in nature.

They are intended to support reflection, recognition, and understanding of survival patterns and adaptive behaviors.

They are not therapy, counseling, medical care, crisis support, legal advice, or a substitute for professional services of any kind.

Materials are intended for adults 21+.

2. Personal Responsibility

You are responsible for how you interpret and apply the material.

The ST:AR Model provides concepts, frameworks, and practices for reflection and observation, but all personal decisions, actions, and outcomes remain your responsibility.

No specific results or outcomes are guaranteed.

3. Boundaries of Support

Email support, community interaction, and any communication connected to the program are educational in nature only.

They are intended for:

  • clarification of concepts

  • understanding the material

  • practical application of the framework

They are not intended for:

  • therapy

  • emotional crisis support

  • individualized treatment

  • relationship advice

  • medical or psychological guidance

  • decision-making on your behalf

Participants may be redirected to appropriate professional support when needed.

4. Participation & Conduct

Participants are expected to engage respectfully and thoughtfully.

To maintain a focused and constructive environment, participants agree not to:

  • disrupt or dominate discussions

  • attempt to coach, diagnose, or direct others

  • pressure others for personal disclosure

  • use the space for promotion or solicitation

  • repeatedly seek individualized guidance outside the scope of the program

The goal of the ST:AR Model is observation, recognition, and understanding—not fixing, controlling, or influencing others.

5. Community & Confidentiality

If community features, group discussions, or live elements are available, participants agree to respect the privacy and confidentiality of others.

Personal information or disclosures shared by participants should not be copied, redistributed, or shared outside the program environment.

Participants remain responsible for their own emotional well-being and are encouraged to seek professional support when appropriate rather than relying on other members of the community.

6. Membership, Billing & Access

Memberships are billed on a recurring basis unless canceled.

You may cancel your membership at any time.

Unless otherwise stated:

  • course purchases include the access period described at checkout

  • membership content remains accessible while membership is active

  • archived materials may be available for limited periods at our discretion

If the membership or program is discontinued, billing will stop and members will be notified in advance whenever reasonably possible.

7. Refund Policy

Refund eligibility is governed by the refund policy displayed at the time of purchase.

Unless otherwise stated, memberships may be canceled at any time, and eligible course refunds are available within the stated refund period.

8. Intellectual Property & Use

All materials are provided for personal use only.

Content may not be copied, reproduced, distributed, resold, taught commercially, or incorporated into other programs, products, or professional services without prior written permission.

9. Removal from the Program

Access to memberships, programs, or communities may be suspended or revoked if a participant:

  • repeatedly violates boundaries

  • disrupts the environment

  • harasses other participants

  • misuses the program

  • engages in behavior inconsistent with the purpose of the space

This is intended to protect the integrity, safety, and focus of the program environment.

10. Agreement

By participating in any ST:AR Model membership, course, program, or related offering, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms.
