    Hi Everyone, Bruni here from the Australian Hypnotherapists' Association. These are my thoughts and not to be taken as the thoughts of the current AHA National Executive. I have a 'Client Intake Form' on my website that I ask any person who has made an appointment to fill in and send to me. I print this and have it waiting for them to sign when they come for their first appointment. I like to do that because it gives the client time to think about the answers, rather than miss out details because they feel rushed. Just recently a prospective client told me that she suffered with epilepsy and I said that I needed to speak with her treating health practitioner to get the okay. Permission was granted and I spoke with the client's Psychiatrist about her condition. And fortunately we were both on the same wave length about the possibilities on the client's condition and I gained permission to work with the client. I sent a short letter thanking the psychiatrist for their time and advice and that I would keep him advised of my session with his patient. Sending the letter to the health practitioner is covering me for having asked permission to deal with the client. For interest sake, I don't know if you are aware of this recent research from UK: A recent study, published in Psychiatry Research, has concluded that psychiatric diagnoses are scientifically worthless as tools to identify discrete mental health disorders - https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/07/190708131152.htm No doubt we will hear more about this research. All the best from 'Down Under'
