Ethics & Emotional Issues
For professional bodyworkers . This class fulfills IL state licence, NCBTMB’s required 6 hours Ethics and includes Standard V: Roles and Boundaries, and 6 of 16 units for the Ortho-Bionomy Practitioner Programs

Having a clear, well-founded Code of Ethics provides therapists with a solid platform on which a successful practice can fluorish. As bodyworkers, it is crucial that we understand and are prepared to meet the special challenges that arise in an intimate work setting such as ours.  Creating a safe environment and effective communication with clients of expectations and limitations is foundational.  

The intention of this workshop is to support and empower therapists in refreshing their professional and personal Code of Ethics with renewed understanding that will enable them to make good decisions when challenges arise. Through an open-hearted, non-judgmental discussion of unusual situations that arise, surprises, fears and doubts and how to deal with them, therapists can feel less isolated and gain insight.  Topics covered will be open to participants and will include the broad scope of ethics, clarifying boundaries, limitations, what to do when emotions arise, areas of personal growth and how to meet them responsibly.

Please bring to class: Pen or pencil and paper, and a willingness to discuss topics presented.
