Disclaimer
Last updated: 25th August 2026
The information, resources, programs, workshops, mentorship, courses, videos, articles, and other content provided through Stop Shrinking and Leah Van King are intended for educational and informational purposes only.
Stop Shrinking explores topics including self-abandonment, self-trust, emotional reactions, boundaries, communication, relationship patterns, conditioning, and personal development.
While these topics can overlap with areas commonly discussed in therapy or other mental-health settings, the content and services provided through Stop Shrinking are not therapy, counselling, psychological treatment, medical care, or mental-health services.
NOT MEDICAL OR MENTAL HEALTH ADVICE
Nothing on this website or within Stop Shrinking products, programs, workshops, mentorship, or other resources should be considered medical, psychological, psychiatric, therapeutic, legal, or other regulated professional advice.
Leah Van King does not diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure mental-health or medical conditions through Stop Shrinking.
Participation in a Stop Shrinking program, workshop, course, mentorship, or other offering does not create a therapist-client, psychologist-client, doctor-patient, or other regulated professional relationship.
If you are experiencing a physical or mental-health concern, please seek advice and support from an appropriately qualified healthcare or mental-health professional.
If you are experiencing an emergency or believe you or another person may be in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services or an appropriate crisis service in your area.
RELATIONSHIP AND PERSONAL DECISIONS
Stop Shrinking provides frameworks and tools designed to help you better understand your reactions, needs, boundaries, choices, and relationship patterns.
They are not instructions about whether you should begin, continue, change, or end a particular relationship.
Every relationship and personal situation is different. You are responsible for evaluating your own circumstances and making decisions that are appropriate for you.
Where a situation involves abuse, violence, coercion, threats, stalking, or concerns about your immediate safety, general relationship education may not be appropriate or sufficient. Please consider seeking support from a qualified professional or specialist service in your area.
YOUR REACTIONS ARE INFORMATION, NOT INSTRUCTIONS
A central principle of Stop Shrinking is learning to notice and understand your reactions rather than automatically overriding or dismissing them.
This does not mean that every reaction is necessarily accurate, that your first interpretation of a situation is always correct, or that a particular feeling automatically determines what action you should take.
Reactions can contain valuable information. The work is to notice them, understand what may be underneath them, consider the circumstances, and then decide what you want to do with that information.
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
The tools, perspectives, exercises, and educational materials provided by Stop Shrinking are intended to support reflection and personal development.
You remain responsible for your own wellbeing, choices, actions, relationships, and decisions.
You should use your own judgment when deciding whether a particular exercise, recommendation, perspective, or approach is appropriate for your circumstances.
NO GUARANTEES
Personal development is personal. Results vary considerably between individuals.

RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL CONTENT
Stop Shrinking may discuss research, psychological concepts, relationship theories, cultural conditioning, social patterns, or other educational material.
This information may be simplified or interpreted for a general audience and should not be treated as a substitute for professional assessment, diagnosis, treatment, or individualized advice.
