Contact Us

Please do not send us your pathological love relationship story or court battle story through our contact form. We accept stories when we are writing new books and will solicit for them. We receive hundreds of emails a week so it is impossible to read lengthy and detailed relationship or court stories! Thanks.

 

Hours for Customer Service: Our customer service department is open to read email Monday – Friday 8am – 5pm EDT. We are closed on legal holidays.

 

Response Window:

• general questions – within 1 business day
• shipping frequency – most products are shipped twice weekly

PayPal Disputes: If you have a question about a product or service you ordered, please email us to help you with your product prior to contacting PayPal. Please Keep Your Receipts: Most importantly, please save your emailed product receipts from us and from PayPal – you may need to refer to information on the receipt in the future.

 

We Cannot Provide Emergency Services
We are not an emergency-based program who can meet with someone face-to-face during crisis. If you are in crisis, are physically unsafe, or emotionally crashing, you should first seek services in your local community prior to approaching The Institute. Indicating you are in crisis will result in suggesting you contact a mental health professional in your own community.
