Policies
Editorial policy
How the articles on this website are written, reviewed and kept current.
Who reviews the articles
Articles are published by Laura Bass Counseling and reviewed by Laura Bass, MSW, LCSW, before they appear. Articles may be drafted with help from the practice's website team. An article carries Laura's personal byline only when the words are her own.
Pages about the Emotion Code and spiritual healing are reviewed by Laura as a practitioner of that work. That is not a clinical review. These are spiritual practices, not psychotherapy or medical treatment, and they are not established by scientific evidence.
Sources
Where an article states a fact, it points to a source such as a government agency, a professional body or published research. Sources are listed on the article where they apply.
Keeping articles current
Articles show the date they were published or last reviewed. When guidance changes, the article is updated and the date changes with it.
Corrections
If you think something is wrong, please say so through the contact page, and name the article. Errors are corrected on the article itself.
What the articles are not
Articles are general education, not medical advice, a diagnosis or treatment, and they do not replace care from a licensed professional. In a crisis, call or text 988.
