Code of Ethics for Practitioners with Paul Bagge
June 24, 2022
From time to time there are reports about practitioners who abuse their clients. This is certainly NOT all practitioners but there are some who do not respect or observe boundaries. They take liberties that violate clients who have placed trust in them. There are many incredible practitioners and coaches who help people every day and I’ve introduced you to many of them on the show over the last 8 1/2 years. During this show, I want to warn people there are some practitioners and coaches who could take advantage of clients. I’m doing this because there is a problem in the industry and I want my listeners to be armed with this knowledge to advocate for themselves, in order to be able to protect themselves.
It is possible to be safe and to have a wonderful and healing experience, you just need to do your research and your due diligence first. You should do with anyone you see about your health and well-being. I don’t visit any doctor or therapist etc. without checking them out as thoroughly as possible. An example, several years ago, my vascular doctor insisted that I needed a cardiologist and he recommended one. I went in for my first appointment and his staff was great. He came in the room and within 5 minutes he was insulting and offensive. He was being judgmental about things that were completely off base about me and my recovery – without even asking me any questions. This was completely unacceptable. I left the office and went to my car. Then I called the vascular doctor’s office and let them know I would not be seeing this cardiologist again, and I’d do some research and call them back with the name of another doctor soon. I asked two women I knew had my best interest at heart and they gave me recommendations for a doctor that I’ve been very happy with over the last 8 years.
This week Paul Bagge, a good friend of mine and of the show, joins me to discuss a Code of Ethics. We’ve mentioned them before, but this week we will dig into them in more detail and give you guidance in how to use them to your benefit. We will give you a wealth of information to use when scheduling an appointment with any health care professsional.
