Terms of Use
By using The Inner Child Healing you agree to what follows. It is short and written to be understood rather than to be impressive.
1. Educational use only
Everything on this site — the guides, the free check, and the Inner Child Map™ — is provided for general education and personal self-reflection. It is not tailored advice for your situation and it cannot be, because we do not know your situation.
2. No diagnosis, no treatment
Nothing here diagnoses, assesses or treats any medical or psychological condition. The free check is a reflection tool, not a psychological assessment: its result names an area that may be worth exploring and establishes nothing about your history, your personality or your mental health.
3. No professional relationship
Reading this site, taking the check or buying the Inner Child Map does not create a therapist-client, counsellor-client, doctor-patient or any other professional relationship between you and us. We are writers and editors, not clinicians, and we do not present ourselves as clinicians anywhere.
4. Not a substitute for professional support
The Inner Child Healing provides educational self-reflection tools and is not a substitute for mental-health diagnosis, treatment, psychotherapy, or crisis care. If you are in crisis, or dealing with something you are struggling to manage safely, please contact emergency services or a crisis line where you live — there is guidance on the crisis support page. Always seek the advice of a qualified professional with any questions about a mental health condition, and never delay seeking that advice because of something you read here.
5. No guaranteed outcome
We make no promise about how you will feel. Self-reflection can be useful and it can also be uncomfortable; different people get very different things from the same exercise, and some get nothing. Nothing here is a treatment plan and nothing here comes with a timeline.
6. Use your judgement, and stop when you need to
Every exercise on this site can be skipped and stopped, and several say so explicitly. If an exercise consistently leaves you worse rather than clearer, stop doing it. You are responsible for how you use these materials and for deciding when a professional is the better option.
7. Purchase terms
- The Inner Child Map™ is $9 USD as a one-time purchase. There is no subscription and nothing renews.
- It is a digital product delivered immediately in your browser. Access is granted to the browser you buy from; there is no account.
- Because access is device-local, clearing your browser data will remove it. Keep your receipt link.
- Refunds: if it is not useful to you, email us within 30 days of purchase at hello@theinnerchildhealing.com and we will refund it. You do not have to justify the request.
- Your statutory rights, wherever you live, are unaffected by anything on this page.
8. Your content
Anything you write in the tools stays in your browser and belongs to you. We never receive it, so we cannot use it, sell it, train on it or lose it. See the privacy page for the detail.
9. Our content
The writing, design and code of this site are ours. You are welcome to use the exercises in your own life, print them, and share a link. Please do not republish the guides wholesale or resell the Inner Child Map.
10. Availability and change
We may update, revise or withdraw content. If these terms change materially the date at the top changes with them. If you have already bought the Inner Child Map, a later change to these terms does not remove your access to it.
11. Liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for decisions you make based on material on this site. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
