Consent Agreement & Waiver
Please read and agree to the following before submitting:
This coaching is powerful, but it’s not therapy. Some techniques are evidence-supported (like EFT), others are emerging or experimental. No guarantees of results are made.
Consent Agreement & Waiver
As part of my session work with the Practitioner, I will engage in various techniques rooted in energy psychology, subconscious transformation, and nervous system regulation.
These may include Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), as well as other complementary approaches such as PSYCH-K, TAT, Intention Tapping, MAP, Logosynthesis, and similar tools designed to support emotional well-being and personal growth.
EFT is a mind-body method that combines cognitive reframing with acupressure by tapping on meridian points on the body. It has been supported by over 125 peer-reviewed studies, including meta-analyses and randomized controlled trials, demonstrating its effectiveness for reducing anxiety, emotional distress, and trauma-related symptoms. It is increasingly recognized in integrative psychology and coaching settings.
While EFT is evidence-supported, some of the other approaches used during sessions are considered emerging or experimental and may not yet have extensive scientific validation. All techniques are provided as complementary tools to support self-awareness, nervous system regulation, and emotional healing - not as a substitute for medical, psychological, or psychiatric treatment.
By signing this document, I acknowledge that results vary by individual, and I take full responsibility for any and all outcomes associated with participating in these sessions.
Emotional Risks and Scope of Practice
By participating in the coaching sessions, I understand that it is possible that emotional or physical sensations or additional unresolved memories may surface during the process. These could be experienced as emotionally intense or uncomfortable. I also understand that previously vivid or traumatic memories may fade, which could impact my ability to provide detailed legal testimony regarding a traumatic incident.
I accept full responsibility for my emotional, physical, and psychological well-being before, during, and after all sessions. I understand that I am encouraged to consult with my appropriate healthcare provider regarding any mental or emotional symptoms that arise.
I understand that these coaching sessions are designed to help me access my own innate healing capacity and are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical or psychological conditions.
Professional Relationship and Limitations
I understand that Sebastiaan van der Schrier is not a licensed medical doctor, psychologist, psychiatrist, or psychotherapist. He does not diagnose conditions, prescribe medications, or offer psychological therapy.
I understand that these sessions are not a replacement for professional mental health care or medical care. If I am currently under the care of a licensed provider or taking prescribed medications, I will not discontinue them without consulting my provider. Even if I experience improvements from the sessions, I understand that it is my responsibility to make informed decisions with the guidance of my healthcare professionals.
Testimonials, Guarantees, and Outcome Expectations
Any stories or testimonials presented before, during, or after my sessions are intended for inspiration only. They do not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or prediction of my personal results. Outcomes vary based on many factors including my commitment, readiness, emotional history, and follow-through.
The practitioner makes no guarantees or assurances of specific outcomes or timeframes. Lack of progress may indicate that other underlying issues are present and may require the involvement of a licensed mental health professional. It is common that more than one modality or approach is needed for complete healing.
