F.02 — Frequently Asked Questions

Plain answers to honest questions.

What Relationale is, how it works, and what we will and will not do.

01
What is Relationale, in one sentence?
Relationale is a publishing and education platform — courses, journals, devotionals, audiobooks, and contemplative practice — built on three decades of clinical psychology and oriented to the relationships that shape a life.
02
Who is behind it?
Relationale is founded and edited by Dr. Keiron Brown, Psy.D., a clinical psychologist of more than thirty years. Every artifact is authored or directly supervised by him.
03
Is this therapy?
No. Relationale is education and practice — it is not a substitute for individual or couples therapy. If you are in crisis or working with serious mental health concerns, please seek care from a licensed clinician in your jurisdiction.
04
Is the content secular or faith-based?
Both, depending on the artifact. Our courses and journals are evidence-grounded and accessible to readers of any tradition or none. Our devotional line includes secular and faith-honoring editions, clearly labeled.
05
Who is the work for?
Thoughtful readers who want something more careful than typical self-help — partners doing the long work of marriage, parents raising children, professionals rebuilding after burnout, clinicians sharpening their language, and people of faith integrating contemplative practice with psychological insight.
06
How does the library work?
Anything you purchase — a course, an audiobook, a journal PDF, a devotional, a planner — appears in your private library at /library and stays there. No expiration. No download limits. No re-purchase required when we revise an edition.
07
Are courses self-paced or cohort-based?
All current courses are self-paced. You can begin the day you enroll, return as often as you like, and complete the work at the rhythm of your life. Future cohort offerings will be clearly labeled.
08
Do you offer refunds?
Yes — see the refund policy for full terms. In short: if a course, ebook, or audiobook does not serve you, write to us within the documented window and we will make it right.
09
Can I read or audit something before buying?
Most courses include a free preview lesson and a sample chapter from the companion text. The Sunday Letter is free and gives a good sense of the editorial voice.
10
How is my data handled?
We collect only what is needed to deliver your purchases and the membership experience. We do not sell data, trade lists, or use behavioral surveillance to manipulate purchases. Full details are in the privacy notice.
11
Do you accept submissions or pitches?
Not at this stage. Relationale is currently a single-editor publishing program. We expect to open select guest contributions in time and will announce that publicly.
