@Former-Member wrote:@chibam I think one of the most powerful things about peer support is the idea of staying away from offering advice and holding a space for where someone is at at that moment in time - sitting there, sharing our own experiences of what has worked or hasn't and really empowering someone to plan their own recovery.
I haven't heard the term 'golden rule of therapy' but I hope that helps answer your question! 😀
It does. 
Still, it's a shame. Absence of real help for people in crisis is a huge - and apparently ongoing - problem with the mental health system.
I've heard traditional therapists' obligation to abstain from providing real help referred to as "the golden rule of therapy" several times, from differant sources; so it must be at least a pseudo-official term, if not an openly discussed one.
