1. Consultees are expected to come prepared to ask questions about BSP therapy phases, protocols, neuroexperiential model, and/or present case material with specific questions for consultation.
2. Please use the case consultation form for guidance on presenting cases, and have this form completed prior to the start of the consultation.
3. Do not include any information that will identify the case(s) you are presenting.
4. If you miss any portion of the scheduled group, you may schedule an individual time to make up the hours as Adam’s schedule allows (for an additional fee)
5. Consultation is not supervision. Consultation focuses on mastery of standard BSP therapy and integrating BSP into your practice. You are responsible for the therapeutic relationship with your clients and competency in the modalities you offer. As a consultant, I do not hold liability for how you practice.
6. 48-hrs notice is required for cancellation, or you may be charged in full.
7. Arriving a couple of minutes late is permissible but after 5 – 10 minutes your time will be reduced by how late you are. You will have to make it up individually.
