Published on purpose
Some things need a clinician, not me. Here's exactly what I don't work with.
What I do assumes some settled ground to work from. If any of the below applies to you right now, I won't run a survey or any work that follows. That isn't a judgement about you. It's about what's safe and what I'm trained for. I'll point you to someone better placed.
I don't work with anyone currently experiencing
- Psychosis, mania, or episodes of dissociation
- Thoughts of suicide, or a recent attempt
- Untreated PTSD, or trauma that's hard to talk about without becoming overwhelmed
- Active addiction
- A bereavement or major loss in roughly the last six months
- Abuse, or an unsafe living situation
- An eating disorder, active or in early recovery
- Psychiatric care that your clinician doesn't know about or agree to
If you're already seeing a therapist or doctor
That's fine. I'll ask whether you're comfortable with them knowing you're doing this. If they advise against it, we won't go ahead.
If something comes up during our work
I'll stop, and I'll help you find the right person. You'll get a refund for anything we haven't done.
Why publish this?
Most people in this field don't. I think what someone refuses to touch tells you more about them than what they promise.
