CONFIDENTIALITY. I understand that I am entitled to confidentiality with certain exceptions in which reporting may be legally required, such as current abuse of a minor, elderly, or disabled person, or the threat of serious bodily harm to myself or others. Confidentiality may no longer be legally protected should a judge make a court order to Lisa Reardon to release certain information. I have been advised to consult with an attorney if I am involved in a legal situation in which such confidentiality may be at issue.
CONSENT. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT tapping) are not used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any physical or psychological illness or mental health disorder. Consequently, Lisa Reardon’s sessions and resources do not provide medical diagnoses, nor do they offer cures. EFT is considered complementary or adjunct treatment options; therefore, they do not replace health care treatment from medical professionals. Emotional Freedom Techniques draw from acupuncture, cognitive reframing, exposure therapy and other time-honoured approaches to healing. Subtle energies and gentle stimulation of meridian points via tapping while focusing on emotional issues is believed to reduce stress hormones in the body, thus returning the body to a state of balance. EFT is a form of gentle self-help methods used to release and resolve physical and emotional distress by clearing blocks in the body’s energy system. There have not been reports of distressing side effects when EFT is administered by a qualified practitioner, but this statement does not mean that you will not discover negative side effects for yourself. If you do experience side effects, you commit to notifying Lisa Reardon and taking the best course of action. I understand that clients having a history of epilepsy or psychotic episodes should only have an EFT session while under direct supervision of a doctor or therapist. These techniques may bring to the surface issues and memories that need addressing, perhaps ones you were not aware of before the client-practitioner relationship began. If this happens, you agree to inform your practitioner as soon as is reasonable. Your consent to use these techniques involves your voluntary agreement to take full responsibility for your well-being, progress, and behaviour and to indemnify practitioner, Lisa Reardon and her company EFT SERENITY. While Emotional Freedom Techniques that have produced remarkable clinical results and are gaining scientific support, they are not replacements to Psychiatric, Psychological or Medical treatment. As we work together there is no guaranteed outcome in any individual or individual session. Sessions are a time to engage with and learn tools to address the emotional side effects of triggering events.
I acknowledge that I have read and understand the above statements regarding EFT and discussed concerns with Lisa Reardon. Therefore, I consent to EFT freely and without duress of any kind and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Lisa Reardon, information on their website, and resources they share, from any claim, action, loss, liability, damage or suit, arising from my participation and use of the information and techniques.
