>Its pretty obvious IMO that he wanted it to be kept private It's not even remotely "obvious". You called it a "diary". It isn't a "diary". It's nothing of the sort. It's a collection of apothegmata…
Are manipulative design tricks (like delayed buttons or fake popups) considered “dark patterns” — or just smart UX? — I’ve seen more and more websites do things like move buttons, delay the “No” option, or mimic system prompts. Curious if others in UX see this as unethical, or just part of modern conversion strategy?
When it’s finally over with a narc or NPD person — I said this in a comment to someone else’s post but I feel like I should post it here, just in case it helps someone. There’s no way of truly knowing whether or not a person with narcissistic traits…
I am 18F and I’m exhausted dealing with my Indian mom who practically worships her narcissistic, manipulative younger brother and lets him control my life while treating me like garbage. — My mom (44F) has two younger brothers. The one I’m talking about is the middle child. He’s married and has a 10-year-old daughter. In my opinion he is one of the most narcissistic, selfish, and arroga…
Therapist ethics — Should a therapist hold a public, personal video blog and use it to vent about clients, even though names are removed? This seems extremely unethical to me and very unprofessional, disrespectful, jud…
I wanted to discuss letters 3 to 5 of Moral Letters. — I just finished letters 3 to 5 of Letters From a Stoic by Seneca. I wanted to summarise what I got from them, and talk with y'all about the parts I didn’t fully understand. If I misrepresented or mis…
Where Did you Go to Find Your Therapist? — I am a very experienced clinical psychologist with a PhD from a very strong university. I have recently left an agency where I was pressured to do unethical things (for example: record things in the m…
YouTube therapist is a fraud — I am using a throwaway account. I am so angry and feel trapped, and don’t know what to do. About a year and a half ago, a friend of mine (we have been friends for our whole lives, had a falling out, a…

Is it unethical to read meditations as its a private diary ? — This may be a naïve question, but isn’t it at least questionable, if not outright unethical, to read someone’s private diary when they never intended it to be published? I can understand approaching i…
EMDR + prep therapy — I’ve been looking into EMDR and I’ve learned that it’s very common to do preparation therapy to make sure you don’t re-traumatize yourself. My questions: \- would the prep be with the same therapist…

How the fuck do i process this level of medical trauma — Monday i had a medicine routine checkup on how my new meds were working with my doctor. I stopped taking my medication one week ago after only taking it a week because it made me feel worse and made m…
I 24m am gay but I started dating a woman 25f. Is it unethical of me to keep dating her? Update — I copied the original post below I posted this a few days ago, a bunch of people said I’m a terrible person, others told me that I need to tell her and then come back afterwards. They also said that …
Sorry if this is not the applause you may have expected; but to me a translation of your title is "Turns out DAs are DAs, and we need to bend over backwards to "make it work" with them, and that's ext…
I'm a neuroscientist and I know a conditioned puppy when I see one. I will continue to meet what I sense being 110% wrapped up in classical conditioning and subjective emotions with 110% mental clar…
I do have issues with Sam Altman, yes. He is pushing unregulated technology that perhaps has a great usecase for many but he's pushing it so hard that it's deeply hurting every day people so he can ma…
I could have written this post myself. I turn 27 in a month. And well, I have never been in a real relationship (although I dated for a while in a very avoidant non-committed way that makes me feel st…
The last sentence makes no sense. It's not that securely attached people won't ever make choices based on insecurity. Behavior can be unethical independently of it's "drive"
Or he knows who is doing it. Someone at work is fucking with him and for some reason, he’s not coming clean. Affair, someone knows he did something unethical and this is part of the blackmail, or so…
I feel the need to weigh in again, otherwise you’d walk away thinking you were so right. No, you are the opposite of right. My points were concrete from the start. You’re the one who made up ridiculou…
Most therapists and psychiatrists try not to pass judgment on their clients’ lives or give directive advice because it’s unethical and not our job. Our job is to treat the symptoms the client presents…
I've gotten input from an attorney and financial advisor. While unethical, it doesn't appear the POS is doing anything illegal. His favorite game is skirting within the gray area of law. Makes him fee…
I’m sorry you’ve been going through this awful situation. 😔 I understand. It is so unfair, unethical, and retraumatizing to put survivors through this broken system that allows abusers to continue ha…
3.5 months post-separation but we have only been living separately for a little over a month. I have zero interest in dating at this point. I’m still in the acute grieving phase. I still wake up and f…
I need to comment, as I feel so hurt for you. I have little energy as I am 2 weeks post surgery- I’ll comment more later. I think you need to take all you know about yourself, and your incredible yo…
This is very unprofessional and unethical. Clearly they deserved 1 star review. Edit your review and add what happened. How insecure and immature do they havebto be to react so drastically to one r…
Corporate image over individual security. What they did to you was fucked up and so unethical. It wasn’t even a negative review.
I'm not denying that there are situations where an online review by a patient may cause enough reasonable emotional reaction in a therapist that the therapist needs to discharge the patient. But that…
It makes no difference. If he’s unhealed or at bare minimum not in therapy, it’s going to fail. Why encourage actively harming another person? It’s completely unethical.
Agreed, this doesn’t make sense at her age. I can’t imagine “needing” any of these things in my 20s. I actually question what doctor is agreeing to this. Seems very unethical. I do wonder how pregnan…
They feel alienated because they are convinced that minorities have an undeserved advantage to them, that gays are disgusting and it bothers them that the rest of modern society isn't racist and bigot…
This makes total sense and I am so very sorry. Unfortunately, there are a lot of unethical plastic/cosmetic surgeons who are not inclined to advise against surgery (because money) wanted by a patient.…
No, to be clear, if someone is being racist, then they are being racist, they arent being unfairly picked on because of their racism. Trump saying Mexico is sending criminals to the USA isnt backed u…
Because you linked not wanting a partner who watches porn to insecurity whereas there are very legitimate reasons to be against the porn industry in general that aren’t related to insecurity. For sm…
A therapist said that?! It feels… weird. I’m studying psychotherapy and unless you to them saying this is a dynamic you want but you have guilt around wanting it, I don’t see any scenario in which the…
This is a bit long since I didn’t have time to summarize it and pasted raw AI answer. 1. Monroe’s framework is fundamentally empirical and exploratory. He approached consciousness the way a scientis…
That’s because some women object to porn on the basis of the unethical industry rather than just because of insecurity. And they want to find a partner who sees women as people and so can’t support an…
Sorry babe, I only think you love me if you buy me an overpriced rock sourced from unethical child labor!
This is a great way to ethically buy jewelry while also saving money and reducing the market for unethical diamonds
In my opinion tiktok therapists are unethical and should stop. “If they you experienced Y then you do X” completely removes the humanism from therapy and turns it into a blanket slate that makes thera…
Exactly. That’s my situation. It was me. Videos of me. Last night she said “the trash took itself out. (Because I let her know I’m moving on) And I know it sucks right now but eventually I’ll thank t…
It is a birthright of every soul, not a privilege that needs to be granted externally. It is a fundamental capability of one’s own being, not something you need any sort of external permission or appr…
Yes, it's become more popular/widely known about, in fact my ex blind sided me and poly bombed me in 2023 because she impulsively decided she needs to go "try it" to not die with regret on her future …
Yes... the enabler is typically a less obvious more passive covert style narcissist or passive enabler with covert narcissistic tendencies. Is the parent who witnesses the narc abuse and parenting dys…
How is that unethical if everyone is on board?
Think of it this way, if you confess your feelings to this guy, you’re in a loose/loose situation. Getting involved with someone who reports to you is otter unethical. Most companies with moderately…
What happens if you decide you want to bring another man into bed with you two? I’m guessing he’ll immediately decline. And if you force him to re-consider it by bringing this stranger into your home …
I wonder how many funny replies you could get over on the Unethical Life Pro-Tips subreddit. I'd be looking for ways to make this hilarious but not comply. Just for entertainment. Personally, I actua…
Can the /r/divorce mods ban this grifter already? >Stop providing the service, and watch who stays for the soul. Sure, this approach reads like sound advice in a vacuum. But it can be interpreted in…
Tell her you will talk with your accountant and/or lawyer friend to make sure that is a something they would recommend you doing. Put her off... "Oh, my lawyer is consulting with a colleague because …
Therapist here. Please do not suggest any such thing - you need to discontinue treatment with this person. She is engaging in highly unethical behavior. You don't deserve to be treated this way.
That may be true, but only in the same way that a therapist who has sex with their client is taking advantage of the fact that the client may be unlikely to report it. What I mean by that is: *none o…
Say No. No is a complete answer. If she pushes, threaten to report her doc to the medical board because what your mom wants them to do is unethical, you are not their patient.
Jupiter in 6 th house , will bring legal hurdles and all sort of hardships. No way out . You have to tolerate . It's not your fault , stars are not favouring you . At best don't indulge in unethical …
This is not to invalidate the hate but medically speaking, enemas can be used as a last resort for serious constipation (not an uncommon experience over a lifetime). Doctors used to recommend them in …
Please report him to his licensing board and they can decide whether the police get involved or not. That is completely unethical for a therapist who’s code is to do no harm. You are 100% not at any f…
This is therapist abuse and malpractice. What he did was illegal, unethical, and abusive. You need a lawyer IMO. There are attorneys who specialize in these kinds of cases and you shouldn’t have to …
Thank you so much for your feedback. All the therapists and professionals I’ve run this past all agree that this is wildly inappropriate, unethical, unprofessional. I’ve had to obtain urgent counseli…
OP, You don’t have to report to the police, but the state licensing board can investigate and prevent him from taking advantage of someone else in the future. This is absolutely not okay, and it is n…
What he did was unbelievably unethical. As a counseling student myself, I can tell you he is undoubtedly a predator and cannot be continuing to do his job after this. You did nothing wrong anf even if…
Highly unethical and will result in the governing body to annihilate his license. This is not your fault. This is his fault. Do not contact him any longer. File a complaint with your states bbs. Goo…
At least report him to the licensing board for therapists. You are not the first person he has done this to, and you won't be the last. I'm so sorry. Even if you had been an adult therapy client of hi…
You did the right thing sticking to your guns on this. Never have a child you don't 1000% want to have. Also, I think it's very unethical to bring a child into this world in the state it's in. You now…
