SOME POINTS OF EXPLANATION –
In these days of increased litigation, we have been advised by our legal advisors to include this agreement as a condition of using the techniques and information or staying on this site. It is aimed at protecting every-one concerned by getting things clearly stated up-front. We feel that it is sad that this is necessary, as what we are saying is basically common sense.

Severe Psychological Problems and Psychiatric Problems
Some people have been so badly traumatized, neglected and/or abused in their lifetimes that they have developed extremely severe psychological problems. Other people may have severe psychiatric problems such as Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple personalities), Schizophrenia, Paranoia, Bipolar Disorder (Manic Depressive), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Suicidal Depression and other serious mental disorders – often with delusions.

Abreactions
Some people with severe problems can have what is called “abreactions”. This is the release of stored up mental tension through intense feelings, speech and / or actions. Sometimes people can feel like they are reliving a past traumatic experience. They may go out of control, which in itself can be very frightening for themselves and a practitioner. During severe abreactions some people are at risk of doing harm to themselves or others and may need to be sedated or hospitalized. In a psychiatric hospital abreactions are quite common, but in everyday society they are very, very rare.

Supervision
Counselling Kinesiology™ has been reported to be helpful even in working with severe cases (under the supervision of a trained mental health professional), but in such severe cases, it should only be used with this supervision.

Referring on
It is important not to use Counselling Kinesiology™ with people who have such serious issues unless you have the training and experience to do so. Refer these people on to the appropriately trained person.
The following statements constitute a legal agreement between you (“you” and “your” refer to any user or reader of this website) and me (“Gordon Dickson”).
