Confidentiality and Privacy
If you’re joining live sessions, please make sure that you’re in a space where you are free to listen and talk, where nobody can overhear you (or what others are saying!), and where you are as undisturbed as possible. I understand that life happens and occasional interruption can’t be prevented, but I’m counting on you to take responsibility for your environment where possible. 

What’s shared in the group stays in the group. You’re welcome to talk about your own learning, but please don’t share anyone else’s story outside the sessions. That goes alongside not bringing up what people have shared if you ever meet them out in the wild!

There are some exceptions to confidentiality, mostly if someone discloses information that gives us reason to think they may harm themselves or someone else –  or if there is information about harm to children or vulnerable people. In those rare situations, I have a professional duty to ensure safety and may reach out for appropriate support. Equally, I’m legally obliged to share any major crimes you disclose to me.

Other than that, what happens in Trauma Club stays in Trauma Club!

Emotional Safety and Boundaries
This course offers opportunities for reflection and embodied learning but it’s not therapy. You are always in charge of your pace and how much you share. You can step back, take a breath, or pause at any time. Everything we do is an invitation, not a requirement.
I’ve put a lot of effort into creating a structure that is safe and helpful, not just for you but also everyone else involved. Therefore I ask that where possible we avoid sharing detailed accounts of something that may have been distressing and instead use broad discriptions of themes or events, ideally primarily focussing on your felt experience and needs – don’t worry about this too much yet, we’ll cover this together as we move through the course!
