(Dis)claimers

To disclaim is to name what is not. To claim is to offer what is. This is a place for the truth spoken softly. Let the light of invisibility rise between the lines—bringing the hope and reality of transformation and healing into our lives.

1.  The words I write may be therapeutic and can be viewed as a way to enhance your work, but they are not offered as therapy or consultation. 

2.  I appreciate your thoughts about how my words resonate with your own. You may not agree with everything I share here, but I do ask that you share any confusion or conflict so I can learn from you. My hope is that the same will happen for you.

3.  Many of the things I write about refer to work with specific patients. Please know that I have been careful not to share any personally identifying information. Sometimes the people I talk about are a combination of several patients who have dealt with the issue I share. 

4.  I value and respect your privacy. If you choose to share comments with me via email, please know that I will not share any information you give me on this site unless you give me permission to do so.

5.  Although what I share will be at my sole discretion, your writing is often helpful in addressing something I may not have included in a prior post and is often integrated into new ones.

6. Patients and consultees are not encouraged to communicate with me about my posts by email for the purposes of our work together. Others are also discouraged from reaching out for personal support as this is not the purpose of this blog. 

7. Anyone who consistently violates the above boundaries may be deleted from membership and/or have their email blocked.  

8. Although I am not writing for a journal where references are required, I will try to acknowledge those who have contributed to my thinking in a positive direction. 

9. Know that we are all human and don’t have to be perfect. Sometimes there aren't any words!
