I understand that I will be participating in a single 3-hour integrative workshop provided by Healers Within. This workshop is designed to offer a combination of sound healing, yoga therapy, and group psychotherapy under the guidance of qualified professionals. The specific content and activities of the workshop have been thoughtfully integrated to enhance holistic well-being through group interaction and personal reflection within a structured timeframe. Each component—sound healing, yoga therapy, and psychotherapy—aims to contribute uniquely to the experience, promoting both mental and physical health in a supportive group setting. The group psychotherapy component will be provided by Sophia Pages and Janae Borrego both Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists in the state of California. Scope of the Workshop The workshop is a one-time, 3-hour session designed to provide integrative support via group psychotherapy, yoga therapy and sound healing. The workshop aims to address common themes and issues that can be effectively explored in a group setting. However, it is understood that the brief duration may limit the depth of exploration compared to ongoing therapy sessions. I understand that the effectiveness of the workshop depends on the participation and engagement of all members, including myself. Rights and Responsibilities I have the right to ask questions at any time during the workshop and am encouraged to actively participate in the discussions and activities. I understand that I may decline to participate in any part of the workshop that makes me uncomfortable. Regular review of the workshop's progress will be conducted to ensure it meets its objectives. I am aware that no specific outcomes are guaranteed from my participation in the workshop. Confidentiality I understand that confidentiality is a cornerstone of psychotherapy, and this principle extends to the group psychotherapy workshop. What is shared in the workshop stays in the workshop, with the following exceptions: If there is an imminent risk of harm to myself or others. If there is suspicion of abuse or neglect of a vulnerable individual. If a court order mandates the disclosure of workshop proceedings. I acknowledge that the nature of a group setting means that absolute confidentiality, as might be expected in individual therapy, cannot be guaranteed. However, all participants are expected to respect and uphold the confidentiality of the group discussions. Potential Risks Emotional Discomfort: Discussions or activities may evoke strong emotions, such as sadness, anger, or anxiety. Personal Disclosure: Sharing personal information or experiences could be distressing or triggering. Lack of Confidentiality: Despite efforts, there's a risk that information shared could be inadvertently disclosed. Challenging Beliefs: Activities or discussions that challenge beliefs or perspectives could be uncomfortable. Unforeseen Reactions: Unexpected emotional distress or physical discomfort could arise from workshop content. Limited Therapeutic Support: The workshop is not a substitute for individual therapy; facilitators provide support but cannot offer personalized therapy. Group Dynamics: Conflict or tension within the group could impact some individuals' experiences. Failure to Achieve Desired Outcomes: There is no guarantee that participation will lead to significant changes or achieve specific outcomes. Psychological Triggers: Topics or activities might trigger distress in individuals with a history of trauma or mental health issues. Continued Self-Exploration: The workshop may prompt further emotional or psychological stress outside the session.
