Hypnotherapy Disclosure Statement

National Guild of Hypnotists

Contact Information: My name is Howard Batie. I am doing business as a Hypnotherapist at the Evergreen Healing Arts Center, and can be contacted through my office at 500 SE Washington Ave., Chehalis, WA 98532 or by telephone at 360-748-7287. You may also contact me by e-mail at hbatie@localaccess.com.

Hypnosis Education and Training: In 1997 I was trained in hypnotism in Annandale, VA by the American Institute of Hypnotherapy, the teaching arm of the American Board of Hypnotherapy. I am now an active Certified Hypnotherapist with the National Guild of Hypnotists, and I do annual continuing education to maintain my training at a high level. The National Guild of Hypnotists is the oldest and largest hypnotism organization in the world, and its certification is the most widely recognized credential for the professional practice of the hypnotic arts. As a practicing Hypnotherapist, I am registered with the Washington State Department of Health (Registration Number HP10001384).

As a Hypnotherapist, I am neither a physician nor a licensed health care provider, and may not provide a medical diagnosis, prescribe medications, or recommend discontinuance of medically prescribed treatments. Counselors practicing counseling (including hypnotherapy) for a fee must be registered with the Department of Health for the protection of the public health and safety. Registration of an individual with the Department does not include a recognition of any practice standards, nor necessarily implies the effectiveness of any treatment. You have the right to choose a Hypnotherapist who best suits your needs and purposes; additional services other than my own may be available to you in the community, and you may locate such providers in the telephone book.. You have the right to refuse hypnotism services at any time. As my client, you have a right to be free of physical, verbal or sexual abuse. You also have a right to know the expected duration of sessions, and may assert any right without retaliation.

Redress: As a certified member of the National Guild of Hypnotists, I practice in accordance with its Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct. If you have a complaint about my services or behavior that I cannot resolve for you personally, you may contact the National Guild of Hypnotists at PO Box 308, Merrimack, NH 03054-0308, telephone 603-429-9438, to seek redress. You may also file a formal complaint with the Washington State Department of Health in accordance with the information provided in "Purpose" below.

Fees: I offer a free, one-time, 1-2 hour consultation service for each new hypnotherapy client. The normal charge for my hypnosis-related services is $60 per hour, pro-rated for portions of an hour in quarter-hour increments, except for the specific techniques listed below. I do not accept credit cards, and prefer payment as services are rendered.

Painless Childbirth (complete program) - $200 per person (5 sessions, 1 hour each)
RoHun Transformational Therapy - $150 per session (9 or 10 sessions, 3 hours each)
Age Regression Therapy - $100 per session (1 or 2 sessions, up to 2 hours each)
Life Between Lives Regression - $250 per session (usually 1 session, up to 4 hours)

Insurance: I suggest you think of my services as something that you will pay for personally. That will both protect your privacy and help you value the work you are doing more. At this time, insurance companies generally do not like to cover hypnotic services, and I advise you not to expect them to do so.

Confidentiality: I will not release any personal information about the services you receive to anyone without written authorization from you, except as provided for by law. You have the right for access to my written records about you.

My Approach To The Use of Hypnotherapy: Hypnotherapy is one tool that can help to restore balance and wellness in your life in several ways. Hypnotherapy has been shown to be helpful when used under medical referral as an adjunct to medical treatments that address certain physical or emotional conditions. In addition, hypnosis has been shown to be effective in helping clients enhance their personal skills and abilities, regain self-confidence, explore their spirituality, determine and set realistic goals, release apprehensions and concerns, manage situational stress in a positive manner, regain self control, and promote increased wellness in their lives.

Purpose: The purpose of this Disclosure Statement is to comply with the requirements of the Washington Administra-tive Code (WAC), Section 246-810-031 and the Counselor Credentialing Act, Revised Code of Washington (RCW), Chapter 18.19. The purpose of the law regulating counselors (including Hypnotherapists) is:

1. To provide protection for public health and safety; and

2. To empower the citizens of the state of Washington by providing a complaint process against those counselors who would commit acts of unprofessional conduct. Acts of unprofessional conduct include:

a. The commission of any act involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, or corruption relating to the practice of the person's profession, whether the act constitutes a crime or not. If the act constitutes a crime, conviction in a criminal proceeding is not a condition precedent to disciplinary action. Upon such a conviction, however, the judgment and sentence is conclusive evidence at the ensuing disciplinary hearing of the guilt of the license holder or applicant of the crime described in the indictment or information, and of the person's violation of the statute on which it is based. For the purposes of this section, conviction includes all instances in which a plea of guilty or nolo contendere is the basis for the conviction and all proceedings in which the sentence has been deferred or suspended. Nothing in this section abrogates rights guaranteed under chapter 9.96A RCW;

b. Misrepresentation or concealment of a material fact in obtaining a license or in reinstatement thereof;

c. All advertising which is false, fraudulent, or misleading;

d. Incompetence, negligence, or malpractice which results in injury to a patient or which creates an unreasonable risk that a patient may be harmed.  The use of a nontraditional treatment by itself shall not constitute unprofessional conduct, provided that it does not result in injury to a patient or create
an unreasonable risk that a patient may be harmed;

e. Suspension, revocation, or restriction of the individual's license to practice any health care profession by competent authority in any state, federal, or foreign jurisdiction, a certified copy of the order, stipulation, or agreement being conclusive evidence of the revocation, suspension, or restriction;

f. The possession, use, prescription for use, or distribution of controlled substances or legend drugs in any way other than for legitimate or therapeutic purposes, diversion of controlled substances or legend drugs, the violation of any drug law, or prescribing controlled substances for oneself;

g. Violation of any state or federal statute or administrative rule regulating the profession in question, including any statute or rule defining or establishing standards of patient care or professional conduct or practice;

h. Failure to cooperate with the disciplining authority by:

     (1) Not furnishing any papers or documents;

     (2) Not furnishing in writing a full and complete explanation covering the matter contained in the complaint filed with the disciplining authority;

     (3) Not responding to subpoenas issued by the disciplining authority, whether or not the recipient of the subpoena is the accused in the proceeding; or

     (4) Not providing reasonable and timely access for authorized representatives of the disciplining authority seeking to perform practice reviews at facilities utilized by the license holder;

i. Failure to comply with an order issued by the disciplining authority or a stipulation for informal disposition entered into with the disciplining authority;

j. Aiding or abetting an unlicensed person to practice when a license is required;

k. Violations of rules established by any health agency;

l. Practice beyond the scope of practice as defined by law or rule;

m. Misrepresentation or fraud in any aspect of the conduct of the business or profession;

n. Failure to adequately supervise auxiliary staff to the extent that the consumer's health or safety is at risk;

o. Engaging in a profession involving contact with the public while suffering from a contagious or infectious disease involving serious risk to public health;

p. Promotion for personal gain of any unnecessary or inefficacious drug, device, treatment, procedure, or service;

q. Conviction of any gross misdemeanor or felony relating to the practice of the person's profession. For the purposes of this subsection, conviction includes all instances in which a plea of guilty or nolo contendere is the basis for conviction and all proceedings in which the sentence has been deferred or suspended. Nothing in this section abrogates rights guaranteed under chapter 9.96A RCW;

r. The procuring, or aiding or abetting in procuring, a criminal abortion;

s. The offering, undertaking, or agreeing to cure or treat disease by a secret method, procedure, treatment, or medicine, or the treating, operating, or prescribing for any health condition by a method, means, or procedure which the licensee refuses to divulge upon demand of the disciplining authority;

t. The willful betrayal of a practitioner-patient privilege as recognized by law;

u. Violation of chapter 19.68 RCW;

v. Interference with an investigation or disciplinary proceeding by willful misrepresentation of facts before the disciplining authority or its authorized representative, or by the use of threats or harassment against any patient or witness to prevent them from providing evidence in a disciplinary proceeding or any other legal action, or by the use of financial inducements to any patient or witness to prevent or attempt to prevent him or her from providing evidence in a disciplinary proceeding;

w. Current misuse of:

     (1) Alcohol;

     (2) Controlled substances; or

     (3) Legend drugs;

x. Abuse of a client or patient or sexual contact with a client or patient;

y. Acceptance of more than a nominal gratuity, hospitality, or subsidy offered by a representative or vendor of medical or health-related products or services intended for patients, in contemplation of a sale or for use in research publishable in professional journals, where a conflict of interest is
presented, as defined by rules of the disciplining authority, in consultation with the department, based on recognized professional ethical standards.

If you are the victim of unprofessional conduct as defined above, you may inform the Washington State Department of Health, Health Professions Quality Assurance Division, P.O. Box 47865, Olympia WA 98504-7865 within twenty days after determination is made. You should include the following written information:

Standards of Practice - Energy Healing

All practitioners providing energy healing services at the Evergreen Healing Arts Center are required to agree to the following Standards of Practice:

Standards of Practice for
Evergreen Healing Arts Center
Energy Healing Practitioners  

PURPOSE
The following Standards of Practice have been developed to guide the practice of energy-based healing techniques and interventions made available to the public at the Evergreen Healing Arts Center.

DEFINITION
Energy-based healing techniques and interventions are those that modify or repattern a client's Physical, Etheric, Emotional, Mental and/or Spiritual energy fields, and the Energy Centers that control the energy flow to, from and within the physical body, thus affecting all physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health and the client's own self-healing processes.

GOAL
The goal of all interventions or therapies provided at Evergreen Healing Arts Center is to restore harmony and balance in the client's Human Energy Field, thereby placing the client in a better position to self-heal.

COMPLEMENTARY
All therapies and interventions provided at Evergreen Healing Arts Center complement traditional health care and are used in collaboration with other approaches to health and healing.

STANDARDS OF PRACTICE

Standard I
Practitioners at Evergreen Healing Arts Center integrate the therapies they provide within the scope of their background and training.  This background is clearly represented to the client and to the public in an appropriate manner such as flyers or brochures that outline one's credentials, including the successful completion of approved courses of instruction.

Standard II
A Practitioner at Evergreen Healing Arts Center is a resource within his/her community to represent the practice of energy-based healing techniques to other related individual practitioners, professions, institutions and organizations.

Standard III
The Practitioners at Evergreen Healing Arts Center operate from a theoretical knowledge base of each intervention or therapy they provide, and they maintain a commitment to continued learning and growing as a healer, well grounded in the art and in the scientific basis of energetic healing.

Standard IV
Practitioners at Evergreen Healing Arts Center do not diagnose or treat specific physical diseases, conditions or symptoms, nor do the prescribe medications.  Instead, they obtain health information and an energetic assessment that serves as the foundation for understanding the parameters of the current health and healing needs of the client.  Evergreen Healing Arts Center Practitioners encourage their clients to use the energetic assessments, information and healing techniques to complement to the services provided by licensed medical professionals.

Standard V
Practitioners at Evergreen Healing Arts Center assess the client's Energy System using various tools to determine the current energetic health and healing needs in the energetic field and centers.  This process is influenced by the Higher Sense Perception ability of the Practitioner.  Various intuitive gifts determine the information obtained.  Information can include kinesthetic, tactile, visual, auditory, conceptual or knowing cues.  Consequently, the depth and range of data can vary from Practitioner to Practitioner.  However, all Practitioners use their energetic assessment to guide the selection and application of appropriate therapeutic techniques and interventions.

Standard VI
Healing is an individually unique lived experience.  Therefore, the Practitioner is a facilitator of the client's own healing processes, and not the cause of any changes that may occur in the physical body.  Change is within the control of the individual at all times.  The pacing, openness, and intensity of healing techniques is guided by the client's need at all times.

Standard VII
The techniques and interventions provided by Evergreen Healing Arts Center Practitioners do not promote a particular religious or spiritual practice, but respect the individual spiritual beliefs and practices of each client.  The goal is to support the person on his/her own spiritual path using the energy-based healing techniques as a resource to complement that path.

The techniques and interventions available at Evergreen Healing Arts Center are in accordance with a broad universal concept of spirituality, and an openness to accommodate individual specific differences of opinion about the nature of spirituality.  Practitioners come from a wide range of spiritual beliefs, and commit to operate under a universal spiritual basis that respects the spiritual integrity of the individual and that does not impose the Practitioner's beliefs on another.

Standard VIII
Throughout the healing session, the Practitioner gives an explanation regarding what is going to be done, how and why, based on the energy assessment.  The client is a fully knowledgeable participant in their own healing process based on his/her abilities.

Due to various presenting situations, such as the client being too sick to receive or take in an explanation, the Practitioner may not give as much information as at other times.

The individual need for an explanation, including depth and scope is to be appropriate for the intervention being provided, and is to be honored.  Some want more explanation and some want less.  However, all Practitioners are trained and are able to explain to the client what they are doing and why.  As the scientific basis for energy-based healing techniques and related healing knowledge is established, the Practitioner is knowledgeable and able to share that information.

Standard IX
The energy-based interventions provided at Evergreen Healing Arts Center are based on the client's individual needs, and are established from the assessment of the client's Energy System.

Standard X
After an energy-based intervention is provided, the client's Energy System is reassessed to determine the effect of the session, the need for further similar energy-based sessions, and/or the need for referral to other traditional or complementary health care providers.

Standard XI
A confidential record is maintained on each client and documents the history, presenting need, assessment, findings, interventions provided, evaluation, and follow-up or discharge planning.

Standard XII
Referrals are made to other professionals as needed.  Practitioners of energy-based techniques practice within the scope of their background, training, knowledge and experience.

Standard XIII
Practitioners at Evergreen Healing Arts Center are committed to quality care and leadership.  This requires a commitment to operate from the Code of Ethics established for Evergreen Healing Arts Center.

Standard XIV
Practitioners at Evergreen Healing Arts Center receive supervision and consultation for their practice as needed from their Mentor or other qualified resources.
