1. Nature of Service: Somatic Experiencing® is a body-oriented therapeutic model developed by Dr. Peter Levine. It is designed to help individuals heal from trauma and other stress disorders through the exploration of bodily sensations. SE® is not a substitute for medical or psychiatric treatment.
2. Scope of Practice: As a Somatic Experiencing® practitioner, I am trained to facilitate trauma resolution and nervous system regulation. However, I do not diagnose or treat medical or mental health conditions as a medical doctor, psychiatrist, or psychologist would.
3. Client Responsibility: Your participation in SE® sessions requires your active engagement and willingness to explore bodily sensations and emotional experiences. Healing is a collaborative process, and outcomes can vary widely among individuals.
4. Confidentiality: Your privacy is of utmost importance. Information shared in sessions will be treated with confidentiality, subject to legal limits.
5. Referrals: If, at any time, it appears that you could benefit from another form of professional assistance, I will suggest a referral to an appropriate professional.
6. Cancellation Policy: Please be aware of our cancellation policy, which requires 24-hour notice for cancellation to avoid being charged for the session.
