IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The following information refers to myself, Dennis Alsop, the services I provide, and the methods I use in my practice as a hypnotherapist, self-improvement trainer, and consultant.
1. Hypnotherapy, ID-R (identity resolution), the Personal Insight ProgramTM as well as other various methods I employ do not involve psychotherapy or the practice of psychology. My methods are used for the purpose of self-improvement employing the instruction and guidance of the practitioner. Hypnosis, when used, is for the purpose of self-discovery and self-change and does not involve the practice of psychology.
2. I am not a psychologist, do not use psychology, and do not have a degree or license in psychology or counseling. I do not diagnose illness of any kind. Any advice given by me to anyone is to be used at their own discretion and not to be taken as the voice of authority. I recommend clients verify or validate information I give, using their own best judgement.
3. Anyone with physical symptoms is advised to see a medical doctor. I do not treat medical conditions and in fact I do not treat anything. I may however, help others address physical problems of many kinds. Under no condition is anyone advised to forego seeing a doctor or getting medical assistance in the hopes that I can help make this unnecessary. Should a physical or medical symptom appear to be improved by a session, the client is advised to get medical validation. This statement constitutes an advisory to seek medical help when warranted. I reserve the right to refuse services to anyone, including anyone with a medical condition which needs immediate medical attention.
4. Anyone with a weight problem is advised to consult a doctor before beginning any exercise or weight loss program. Anyone with a drug or alcohol problem is advised to seek help such as counselling in addition to using my services.
5. Anyone who is suicidal or has suicidal or destructive impulses, or impulses otherwise harmful to oneself or others is advised to seek additional help such as from a licensed counsellor as long as such impulses persist. My methods sometimes take many sessions to resolve an issue such as suicidal thoughts, so please do not wait to seek additional help.
6. Anyone who is in a crisis period, undergoing severe stress, or who has multiple personalities, is advised to have, in addition to my help, a counsellor, support group, or someone who can support them in times of crisis. This may be very important and I am not available in this capacity.
7. This notice is to serve as a disclaimer and the general message is that while I can help people address and resolve many types of unwanted conditions, there is no guarantee as to the length of time required nor is there any guarantee of success. To let a serious condition persist while employing my help when other definite help is available is unwise. However I am perfectly willing to work with anyone who follows the above guidelines. If I knowingly work with someone who does not follow these guidelines, this does not cancel the above advisories and they proceed at their own risk. I disclaim any liability under such conditions.
I have read, understand, and have received a copy of the above information.
