Disclaimer & Terms of Heart

1. Not Professional Advice

The content on UsInTheReal.com, including our "He Said/She Said" breakdowns, "Science" sections, and "Scripts," is for informational and entertainment purposes only. We are relationship strategists and storytellers, not licensed psychologists, federally regulated therapists, medical doctors, or legal counsel.

The "Science" referenced (such as Attachment Theory or the Gottman Method) is based on general psychological research and may not apply to your specific, unique situation. Using our "Scripts" does not guarantee a specific outcome in your relationship.

2. Not a Substitute for Therapy

Our articles are designed to spark reflection and conversation, but they are not a substitute for professional mental health care. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, deep clinical depression, or are in a situation involving domestic violence, please seek immediate help from a licensed professional or a dedicated crisis hotline.

Important: If you are in immediate danger, please call your local emergency services (e.g., 911 in the US) or contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline.

3. No Professional-Client Relationship

Accessing our content, subscribing to our newsletter, or purchasing premium "Scripts" does not create a therapist-patient or attorney-client relationship. You are responsible for your own actions and the consequences of the conversations you initiate using our materials.

4. Accuracy & Real-Life Stories

While we source stories from the real world (internet universe), we may change names, locations, and identifying details to protect the privacy of the individuals involved. We do not guarantee the 100% accuracy of the "facts" presented in user-submitted or community-sourced narratives.

5. Limitation of Liability

By using this site, you agree that UsInTheReal.com, related entities, affiliates, sponsors, and its founders are not liable for any relationship breakdowns, legal disputes, or emotional distress that may occur as a result of applying the information found here. You are the "Main Character" of your own life—you make the final calls.
