The conversations that we have within our coaching sessions are confidential and will be protected as such. Information will be shared outside of our sessions only with your written consent or in the event that a Court Judge demands it. However, the following are instances where I would be obligated by law to break our confidentiality agreement without your permission:
- If it is assessed during your participation in coaching sessions that abuse or neglect of children or elders is occurring.
- If in my presence you threaten to kill or harm another individual, and I am convinced that you may act on this threat, or that you may lose control of your actions.
- If at any time during the course of our sessions I determine that you are a danger to yourself, or you threaten to kill yourself, and I am convinced that you may act on this threat, I will inform you of that opinion and make every effort to keep you from endangering your life. In some cases this may include notifying the law enforcement or family members.
