PRINCIPLES OF PRACTICE FOR BRENNAN HEALING
SCIENCE PRACTITIONERS PREAMBLE
These Principles of Practice are intended to aid
the healing work of the Brennan Healing Science Practitioner
("BHS Practitioner"), and to assist the public in selecting a healer with
whom to create a rewarding healing
relationship.
As a graduate of either the four-year Bachelor of
Science Degree or Professional Studies Diploma Programs of
the Barbara Brennan School of Healing ("BBSH"), the BHS Practitioner has
completed an intensive study and
practice of personal transformation, energy awareness and high sense
perception, hands-on healing techniques,
professional practice, creative arts, integrative care, and awareness of the
connections between mind, body and
emotions.
The BHS Practitioner's primary objective is to
support each client in his or her unique healing journey with
competence, integrity, and compassion. The BHS Practitioner's commitment is
to create a safe, empathic, and
life affirming container to best facilitate the client's healing and
transformational process. In the broader context
of community and world service, the BHS Practitioner applies his or her
knowledge and training in support of the
evolution of the human spirit.
In any given client session, the BHS Practitioner
may employ varied techniques and incorporate elements of
multiple modalities depending on the unique circumstances and needs of each
client, and on the qualifications
and skills of the BHS Practitioner. No set of rules can fully anticipate or
regulate the variety of situations that the
BHS Practitioner may face. The following Principles of Practice instead
address important aspects of the BHS
Practitioner's intentionality and consciousness that the BHS Practitioner
honestly monitors and clarifies during
the course of the client relationship, both generally and in the moment.
INTENTION,
INTEGRITY, AND PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITY:
1. The BHS Practitioner commits to use his or her training, skills, and
intention in service of the health, welfare,
and spiritual healing of the client.
2. The BHS Practitioner provides those services commensurate with his or her
training and competence, and
refers the client to other healers and care providers in other disciplines
as appropriate and necessary.
3. The BHS Practitioner keeps current and competent in his or her field(s)
of practice, through supervision,
consultations, and continuing education.
4. The BHS Practitioner does not offer, promise, or provide medical
diagnoses or prescriptions (unless otherwise
licensed to do so), and does not promise medical cures or recoveries.
CLIENT COMMUNICATION AND PROFESSIONAL BOUNDARIES
5. The BHS Practitioner clearly, accurately, and truthfully communicates to
the client, prior to commencement of
services, the general nature of the services that may be provided, fees and
billing practices, and other policies
and procedures of the BHS Practitioner. The BHS Practitioner also obtains
the client's consent to these services,
or as appropriate the consent of the client's legal guardian, prior to
service.
6. The BHS Practitioner maintains professional boundaries with the client.
The BHS Practitioner is sensitive to
real and ascribed differences in awareness and power between the BHS
Practitioner and the client, and does not
exploit such differences or perceptions during or after the professional
relationship for the personal gratification
or benefit of the BHS Practitioner. The BHS Practitioner supports the client
in avoiding or resolving dependency
on the BHS Practitioner.
7. The BHS Practitioner does not suggest, initiate, or engage in any
romantic or sexual activity with the client.
The BHS Practitioner does not engage in sexual or other harassment of the
client, whether by sexual solicitation,
physical or energetic advances, or verbal or nonverbal conduct that is
unwelcome, is offensive, or creates a
hostile or unsafe healing environment. The BHS Practitioner does not engage
in sexual relations with a former
client for at least two years after termination of the client relationship,
and only then after a good faith
determination through appropriate supervision that there is no exploitation
of, or harm to, the former client.
8. The BHS Practitioner avoids or promptly removes himself or herself from
improper and potentially harmful
conflicts of interest and dual or multiple relationships with clients and
former clients.
HONORING THE
CLIENT AND COMMUNITY
9. The BHS Practitioner respects the fundamental dignity, worth, and
personal journey of all clients, regardless of age,
gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation,
disability, language, and socioeconomic status. The BHS
Practitioner strives to be aware of and sensitive to cultural, individual,
and role differences.
10. The BHS Practitioner respects the right of each client to hold values,
attitudes, beliefs, and opinions that differ from the
BHS Practitioner's. The BHS Practitioner does not attempt to pressure or
coerce the client into any action or belief, even if
the BHS Practitioner believes such act or belief would serve the best
interests of the client. The BHS Practitioner supports
each client's self-empowerment, self-determination, and transformational
processes in learning to make life choices, and
understanding the consequences of those choices.
11. The BHS Practitioner is aware of his or her role in maintaining the
integrity of healing and the healing profession with
regard to clients, to the society in which the BHS Practitioner lives, and
to the global community of the sacred human heart.
CLIENT CONFIDENTIALITY
12. The BHS Practitioner honors and does not disclose to anyone the client's
confidences or client records, if any, including
the name or identity of the client or identifying information, except: (a)
if and to the extent authorized by the client; (b) as
required for the BHS Practitioner's professional supervision where the
client remains anonymous, and only to the extent
necessary to achieve the purposes of the supervision; (c) when disclosure is
required to prevent clear and imminent danger
to the client or others; (d) as required by law; and (e) if the BHS
Practitioner is a defendant in a civil, criminal or disciplinary
action arising from the client relationship (in which case client
confidences may only be disclosed in the course of that
action).
13. At the client's written request or approval, and according to the
capabilities, good conscience, and professional
judgment of the BHS Practitioner, the BHS Practitioner may consult with the
client's other healers, therapists, physicians,
and spiritual teachers, as appropriate to maximize the benefits to the
client.
BHS PRACTITIONER SELF-RESPONSIBILITY, CLIENT WELFARE, AND
TERMINATION OF SERVICES
14. The BHS Practitioner commits to his or her own self-care and ongoing
personal healing, and also recognizes that this
commitment is key to serving as an instrument of healing for the client.
15. The BHS Practitioner commits to regular individual supervision sessions
with a qualified professional. The BHS
Practitioner is obligated to be alert to signs of, and to obtain
professional assistance for, any unresolved personal problems,
counter transference, and emotional reactions, in order to prevent
impairment of the client relationship.
16. The BHS Practitioner is not under the influence of alcohol or of any
medication, drug, or substance during a client
session that might impair the work of the BHS Practitioner or the client
relationship.
17. The BHS Practitioner terminates a client relationship when it becomes
reasonably clear that the client no longer needs
or is not benefiting from continued service. The BHS Practitioner terminates
services if and as advisable due to any
physical or mental illness, or unresolved personal issues, of the BHS
Practitioner. The BHS
Practitioner does not maintain a client relationship solely for financial
reasons, but may terminate a relationship if the client
is unable or unwilling to pay for such services. Prior to any termination of
service, if and to the extent applicable and
practicable, the BHS Practitioner gives reasonable notice to the client of
the termination and assists the client in finding
alternative professional services.
