Frequently asked questions

Is this actual therapy?+
Fuck, no.
Bad Therapist is a fictional comedy clinic. Our characters have no qualifications, no professional standing and absolutely no business giving anyone advice. The Dr is decorative.
This is entertainment — not therapy, medical advice or psychological support.
If you need real help, contact a qualified professional or find local support through findahelpline.com.
How personalized is it?+
The book is built from the answers you provide.
Your habits, your ridiculous stories, your catchphrases, your excuses and the details that make you recognizably you.
The fictional situations, illustrations and comedy are created around that material.
It's satire. We don't claim the invented disasters actually happened.
How long does it take?+
Usually about half an hour.
Your answers go into my own comedy engine, which writes the whole thing from scratch and draws it page by page. It's about as long as a bath, and dirtier.
We'll tell you when a book is held.
Do I need to upload a photo?+
No.
The illustration system uses selected appearance details. It doesn't require your photograph.
What if I don't laugh?+

What am I buying?+
A personalized, AI-assisted illustrated adult-comedy book delivered as a PDF.
The current digital edition costs $15.
One payment. No subscription.
Can I buy one for somebody else?+
Yes.
It's a personalized comedy gift for adults — partners, friends, siblings and anybody else likely to enjoy having the absolute piss taken out of them.
You answer the questions about them and pay. We make the book.
You get a link to send them and a copy for yourself. They get a reveal, then the book.
They don't fill anything in and they don't get to say no. That's the gift.
How filthy is it?+
Already pretty fucking filthy.
The standard 18+ edition includes strong language, crude adult humor and savage personal roasting.
It isn't pornography.
Is it written by AI?+
Yes.
Bad Therapist uses AI to create personalized writing and illustrations within human-authored creative rules and production checks.
Automated checks are applied before release, and books flagged for closer review are assessed by a person.
Our fictional therapist is imaginary. The technology disclosure isn't.
What happens to my answers?+
Free sessions are deleted after 30 days.
Book questionnaire answers are deleted 30 days after delivery. Download links last 30 days.
Your answers are used to create your book, not to train AI. The site does not use advertising trackers.
See the full privacy notice for details of order records, email preferences and data retention.
Is anything off limits?+
Not much. There's a floor. It's very low.
We will push it. That's the product.
By paying, you're taking that on. You picked the person, you wrote the answers and you pressed the button.
If someone gets upset, that's not our problem. Take it up with whoever reported them. It was you.
Didn't laugh? The 14-day refund still stands. Offended counts as not laughing. We'll take your word for it.
