The therapist's code is actually our policy of proper conduct
for the therapist. Though it should be applicable to ANY therapist or
counselor in the fields of mental health and spiritual pursuit,
we
can only hope that one day they will all adopt the same or very
similar code. Unlike
others in the field, your therapist here profoundly understands that
the strict following of this code, as it is designed, protects you
from bungled therapy, guarantying that you get the maximum benefit
out of each session, which is the first step towards your full healing.
If during any session you feel that the therapist has
violated any of the points in this code, do not hesitate to bring
this to the therapist’s or director's attention.
It is your right to do so.
If you do not understand any point in the therapist's code be
sure that you get it clarified before the session begins.
Adherence to the therapist’s code by the therapist as
well as your understanding the importance of this policy will ensure
that you not only receive the greatest possible gains from our
therapy, but that your success will be hastened.
Stalled or jumbled cases can usually be traced to violations
of this code.
