Disclaimer & Safety Notice — L$D Protocol
1) Not a licensed professional / not medical or legal advice.
I am not a licensed therapist, doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, lawyer, or licensed counselor. The L$D Protocol is a personal, experimental self-help framework based on my reading, experience, and informal research. It is intended for educational and exploratory purposes only and is not a substitute for professional diagnosis, counseling, therapy, or legal advice.
2) If you are in crisis, get immediate professional help.
If you are thinking about suicide, self-harm, or are in immediate danger, please contact local emergency services right now (for example, 911 in the U.S.) or call your country’s emergency number. If you are in the United States, you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for 24/7 support. For support in other countries, please contact your local crisis lines or visit international resources. SAMHSA+2988 Lifeline+2

The L$D Protocol may include topics or exercises that some readers find emotionally intense or triggering. If content triggers you or raises difficult feelings, please stop and seek help from a licensed professional or a trusted support person.

By reading or using material from the L$D Protocol, you acknowledge that any actions you take are your own responsibility.
