Standards and Boundaries

What this is

A Sit is a paid, one hour clarity session in a real barbershop. No haircut.

• We help you name the real question.
• We lay out options and constraints.
• We eliminate what does not matter.
• We end with one decision and one next step.

The method is simple. The standard is high.

What this is not

• Not therapy, counseling, or medical care.
• Not coaching, consulting, or legal advice.
• Not crisis support.
• Not a place for harassment, threats, or intimidation.

If you need clinical care, we will encourage you to seek it.

How we run a Sit

You should leave feeling clearer, not dependent.

Confidentiality

• We treat your Sit as private.
• We do not share your story publicly without explicit permission.
• We do not record sessions unless you opt in ahead of time.

Limits exist for safety. See the Safety section.

Safety

We will pause or end a Sit if safety is at risk.

• If you express intent to harm yourself or others.
• If you are impaired in a way that prevents a safe session.
• If you are seeking crisis intervention.

If you are in immediate danger, call local emergency services.

Conduct

• Respect the space, the staff, and the Thought Barber.
• No harassment, hate speech, or sexual content directed at anyone.
• No recording or photography without consent.
• No weapons or threats.

If conduct breaks these rules, the Sit ends immediately.

Referrals

If your situation needs a specialist, we will encourage a referral.

• Therapist or counselor for mental health treatment.
• Attorney for legal decisions.
• Financial professional for investments, taxes, or debt strategy.
• Medical professional for diagnosis or treatment.

We stay in our lane so your decision is clean.
