Questions & corrections

Challenge the argument.

Our claims should stand up to the same scrutiny we ask of anyone else.

Show us what needs another look.

Point to the exact statement, explain the problem, and include a source or a stronger argument if you have one. You can question the evidence, the reasoning, or how the proposed outreach would affect people.

What would change this project?

A reliable source that contradicts a factual claim should change the claim. A stronger argument should change the response. Evidence that our method pressures people, worsens their situation, or fails to teach transferable skills should change the method—or stop its use. Enthusiasm from people who already agree is not enough.

Reviews will be described by their actual scope and published only after they happen. No independent reviewer, local partner, or evaluated field outcome is being claimed in this edition.

Corrections and revision log

11 October 2026 · Kelly publication date

The Kelly source note distinguishes first online publication on 4 November 2025 from the 2026 journal issue. Lecture 2 refers to 2025 as the first publication year. These dates describe the same paper; neither is presented as a separate study.

11 October 2026 · Clearer fictional examples

Revised teaching examples across the twelve humanist lectures, practice tools and English EBT materials to use coherent everyday situations. Maya’s family story now follows one conversation; the base-rate example uses a hypothetical spam filter. These are fictional teaching examples, not reported participant outcomes.

11 October 2026 · Downloads and access to support

The English learner course now includes crisis contacts beside its stop rules. The leaflets point to roomforwhy.com/start and include a QR code. The leaflet exercise also asks what matters to the learner and what an action could cost. The site provides direct US call and text links for 988; local services are identified separately.

Before you explore

Education. Not therapy.

This site and its contact form are not crisis services. In the U.S., call or text 988 for crisis support; call 911 for an immediate emergency. Elsewhere, use local crisis or emergency services. Find support for your location

Room for Why is for education only: reasoning, beliefs, emotions, and everyday decisions. It does not provide or attempt to provide psychotherapy, counseling, diagnosis, treatment, or personalized medical or mental-health advice.

EBT (Epistemic Behavioral Training) is an educational prototype, not a validated therapy. References to CBT, DBT, or published research do not establish that EBT is an effective treatment. No health outcome is promised.

Reading, using exercises, or contacting the project does not create a therapist–client or other healthcare relationship. The material is not a substitute for qualified professional care. Do not delay care, disregard professional advice, or change treatment because of this site.

Participation is optional. Skip or stop any exercise that increases distress or risks your privacy or safety. You do not have to disclose or change your beliefs.
