CLASS CONTENT
1. The 10 classes are based on CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and ERP (exposure and response prevention). Exposure exercises will be done together in class. They are very gradual and begin with simply words, cartoons, drawings, nauseous people, etc. and we slowly work our way toward videos and sounds.
2. There will be some sharing of experiences, homework, etc. which is entirely voluntary. No one has to share if they don't want to.
3. You will be given a workbook written by me to use and to keep. Only a few pages at a time will be given to you (so you don't read the last parts and freak out!)
4. There is homework each week which can be from as little as 10 minutes per day up to 30 minutes per day (5 days per week only). Success in this program is dependent upon attendance at all classes and completion of all homework exercises.
5. We all agree that class content and participants' names are completely confidential. This includes any professional observers or interns.
6. Once you have registered and paid tuition, I will overwhelm you with paperwork! There are many forms, questionnaires and surveys to fill out. Most will be online by December 1/23. Filling out all paperwork before and again after your classes helps me to evaluate my program and ultimately helps me to help others.
