Training Agreement

By attending this Brainspotting Training, I understand and agree to the below terms and conditions.

1. Confidentiality: This training is delivered using a      PowerPoint presentation, live/online demonstrations, and practicums during      which attendees will be working with their own personal material. All      personal and clinical information is to be kept confidential and may not      be shared elsewhere. Treat the personal information of others with the      same respect which you would expect for yourself.
2. Online platform.  It is understood that:
   1. Possible Misunderstandings due to the lack of       nonverbal cues normally present with in-person teaching,       technology-assisted teaching is prone to possible misunderstandings and       clarification will be requested when necessary.
   2. Privacy Breaches. Technology-assisted teaching       utilizes a large number of outside resources and companies (internet and       software providers, public utilities, etc). All these entities are prone       to their own security risks. 
3. Competency: Treating trauma requires specific training      in the nature of trauma, its effects on the brain and body, establishing      and maintaining safety, and much more. This is not a course on trauma and      trauma treatment, and this course does not make you a trauma therapist if      you are not one already. Rather, it teaches an effective tool to add to      your treatment repertoire. You are responsible for your own professional      development in this area.
4. Responsibility. This course uses demonstrations and      practicums to develop participants’ understanding of Brainspotting and its      clinical applications. This course is intended for education and      professional development. It is not designed or intended to be for the      attendee’s personal therapy, nor for clinical supervision. If you find      that you are emotionally activated during practice sessions, please do      speak to a trainer or assistant, and of course, do what you need to      regulate yourself. If participants need additional support or input      following this course, this is not the responsibility of the trainers nor      of Brainspotting Training, LLC.
5. Volunteers and Practicum Process.  My      participation in volunteering for demonstration and/or practicums is to      help myself and others learn the material.  I understand this is not      therapy and not intended to replace therapy.  As a volunteer, I agree      to have others learn from my personal experience.  
6. Scope of Practice. This course is available to licensed      mental health professionals who are members of a professional regulating      body, and to trainees in those professions. It is your responsibility to      work at all times within the scope of practice of your own      discipline.
