Rule #2:
Every moment is confidential
inside and outside of the network.
Read this section very carefully because breaking confidentiality is a concept that is surprisingly misunderstood.
Every moment that has passed has just become confidential to each and every person that joins these meetings. It does not matter how recent they have participated. You cannot repeat any information you have learned while participating in the group. This includes texts, emails, photographs and contacts in my life. So, please do not ask questions like “what did I miss” because the answers will cause my body stress. Like wise, do not provide a recap of what has been missed with someone who did not witness it for themselves.
Also realize that the most common mistake is when a person tells another person “Don’t talk about certain subject matter.” By doing this you are essentially telling someone that there is an existence of confidential information. This is just as bad as telling someone the information itself. This is far too common and although the words seem milder, the behavior is the same. These phrases then continue to cause me great discomfort. It is so common that people refer to this as “the sickness”. You need to understand that it is the behavior that causes my sickness not the content.
Another behavior that causes me harm is saving personal information about me. Information extracted from the forum is evidence of trespassing and an invasion of my privacy. This is punishable by law and will result in fines and jail time. A person can also sue for damages because the existence of the information can cause emotional stress.
The only way to protect me and everyone else here is to practice confidentiality verses trying to enforce it. I advocate for myself and expect everyone else to do the same. If I think someone needs to know something, I am perfectly capable of letting them know myself.
Everyone else who joins requires the same protections regarding confidentiality. To help ensure this, I ask that everyone practices anonymity when participating in this space. Do not collect people’s personal information and contact information here. Sharing and giving personal information is an engagement that prevents people from limiting their time here.
If you have information, products or influences you would like to share, find people in your own space and engage with them there. And, make sure it is regarding subject matter that does not include my personal and private information. If you want to share your personal information with strangers that is up to you. But I ask that you do not do it here.
