We identify who created or reviewed a page, distinguish original frameworks from outside research, link material claims to accessible sources when possible, disclose important limitations, and correct errors without disguising them as routine freshness updates.
Authorship and review
Pages about men's emotional fitness and The Inner Kingdom are created or reviewed by Dr. John Schinnerer, PhD. Pages centered on mindfulness, burnout, boundaries, and women's emotional wellbeing are created or reviewed by Joree Rose, MA, LMFT. Relationship resources may be reviewed by both. Credentials describe the reviewer; they do not turn Proximity content into diagnosis, treatment, or individualized clinical advice.
How we describe evidence
- Original framework means John or Joree created the named coaching model. It does not mean the complete proprietary framework has been independently validated.
- Research-informed means the educational material draws on relevant published research or established theory. It does not mean Proximity itself has been clinically tested.
- Preliminary or unpublished research is labeled as such and is not presented as proof of Proximity's outcomes.
- Proximity has not published a peer-reviewed efficacy trial of its products and does not guarantee outcomes.
Sources
We prefer primary research, government and university resources, professional bodies, and direct product documentation. We link the exact source when available. A source supports only the claim for which it is cited; research on another product is not treated as evidence that Proximity will produce the same result.
Product comparisons
Proximity is an interested party when comparing its own products with competitors. Comparisons should identify the information reviewed, avoid speculation about undisclosed technology, acknowledge where another product may fit better, and tell readers to verify current features, pricing, privacy, and terms directly. Competitors may request a factual correction.
AI-assisted publishing
AI may assist with outlining, editing, formatting, structured data, or source discovery. A named human reviewer remains responsible for the published claims. We do not knowingly publish invented citations, fabricated statistics, or AI-generated expert quotations.
Corrections and updates
We update substantive pages when evidence, product behavior, safety guidance, or competitor information changes. Material corrections should be reflected in the page's updated date. We do not change dates merely to make old content appear new.
Coaching and safety boundary
Proximity provides educational coaching and skills practice. It does not provide therapy, diagnosis, medical care, legal advice, or crisis response. Communication exercises are not appropriate for coercion, stalking, violence, or abuse. Visit Crisis Safety for urgent resources and boundaries.
