GENERAL QUESTION OR COMMENTS

RISKS OF MBSR

I understand that there might be possible risks and side effects of attending this Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Course. They could include the following. Feelings of sadness, anger, or fear, may become stronger as practice develops. Awareness can highlight emotions. A history of trauma, abuse, addiction, recent loss, or major life changes may heighten emotional reactions. You may not like new discoveries about yourself. You may be challenged by facing the unknown. You may experience changes in reactivity, behavior and communication - others may be uncomfortable with this. Relationships may change as attention deepens and new behaviors evolve. The primary physical risk is connected to practicing meditation in motion. This includes skill training in meditation methods as well as gentle (Mindful Movement) exercises. I understand that if for any reason I am unable to, or think it unwise to, engage in these techniques and exercises either during the weekly online sessions or at home, I am under no obligation to engage in these techniques nor will I hold Imagine liable for any injury incurred from these exercises.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND COMMITMENT

All forms and discussions are confidential unless threat or harm to oneself or to others presents itself. I understand that I am expected to attend each of the eight weekly sessions, day long retreat, and practice homework to the best of my ability. I understand that the materials I will have access to during classes are for personal use only. I also give permission to use my email address for informing me about mindfulness events, such as announced in a newsletter. Additionally, I commit to paying Imagine's $50 registration fee and considering a participation donation.
