TRAUMA-INFORMED COACHING SERVICE AGREEMENT

The TIC course does NOT equip students with the skills to work directly with trauma, nor does it certify someone as a trauma therapist. The TIC certification is intended to assist coaches, healers and practitioners to view things through a trauma-informed lens and is an information-based course only, and does not offer the skills for treatment.

The information within this training is based on years of trauma-informed training, lived experience, client sessions, alternative therapy training and independent research.

You agree that you understand that the trainers are not medical professionals and that TIC is not for the diagnosis, treatment, prevention or cure of any condition or disease.

Taking this training and receiving certification does not make you a medical professional. The certification is as a trauma-informed coach.

You agree that you will not advertise, give advice or work with clients who are outside of the scope of practice, unless you are also a medical professional. You also agree you will not diagnose or attempt to assist someone in trauma resolution without further education.

If you are joining this training for your own healing, you agree and understand that your journey is your responsibility and you understand we only offer perspectives we have found to be effective for our clients and for ourselves personally. We do not prescribe anything that guarantees any kind of outcome for every person.

Any decision made from the interpretation of content is a student’s responsibility. Based on the information in this training, if you are considering making a life-altering decision, for example leaving one’s partner or family, changing or coming off medication, trying psychedelic medicines or any other decision where there may be consequences, the trainers take no responsibility for these decisions. We encourage every student to seek alternative opinions and support when making them.

Any discussion on medication needs to be made with your doctor, psychiatrist or prescribing professional.

The information and techniques in this training are based on the evolving field of trauma-informed care, somatic therapy and neuroscience. As of 2024, these techniques and theories are up-to-date and inclusive of the findings of many of the major professionals within this field.

If, while going through the content, you find any information has become outdated, please let us know and we will update it accordingly.

The language and content within this training is in accordance with United States Law. It is up to each student to research the laws within their own country or state as to which language they are able to use when advertising themselves as a trauma-informed coach. For example, in the US, it is prohibited for practitioners to use terms “healing trauma” unless you are a licensed professional (eg. psychologist or doctor).

If you are suffering from suicidal ideation, BPD (borderline personality disorder), DID (dissociative identity disorder), or other forms of mental illness, this training does not treat these kinds of diagnoses and we highly recommend you be treated by a medical professional.

It is the responsibility of students and practitioners to become aware of and familiar with the governing bodies, codes of conduct and laws for their own specific state, territory or country when advertising and engaging with clients.

By checking this box, you are agreeing you understand all of the above, and that signing up to our program is your own decision. You also agree you are aware of the potential benefits versus risks and the scope of the course.
