Conditions of Use


In continuing to navigate the TAT Life website, you acknowledge your understanding of the following:

  • There is a new group of therapeutic approaches, including TAT, which work with the human energy system and are understood to affect the body/mind interconnection.
  • Clinical experience and scientific studies are confirming that these approaches can assist in addressing psychological conditions such as anxiety, phobias, and traumatic responses as well as enhancing relaxation, increasing a sense of wellbeing, and reducing pain sensation.
  • There are currently no known side effects to energy-oriented treatments when properly administered by an experienced practitioner.
  • TAT is not a substitute for medical treatment.

Because these methods, including TAT, are relatively new, neither the extent nor the breadth of their effectiveness, including risks and benefits, is fully known. Be advised of the following:

  • Other emotional and physical sensations or additional unresolved memories may surface.
  • Previously vivid or traumatic memories may fade. This could adversely impact the ability to provide detailed legal testimony regarding a traumatic incident.

1. Consultations

INFORMED CONSENT FOR TAPAS ACUPRESSURE TECHNIQUE®

 

As a separate division of my acupuncture practice, I offer Tapas Acupressure Technique® (TAT®), a methodology I created and developed that appears to have promising mental and physical health benefits but has yet to be fully researched by the Western academic community. This informed consent will provide you with some basic information about TAT which is a modality that has been identified as a form of Energy Psychology. The prevailing premise of Energy Psychology is that the flow and balance of the body’s electromagnetic and more subtle energies are important for physical and emotional health, and there are energy-based methods that help in fostering well-being.  One of the most highly recognized energy-based methods in the field of Energy Psychology is TAT. By signing this document you understand that TAT could be considered experimental. 

 

Further you agree, that I have disclosed to you sufficient information to enable you to decide to undergo or forgo TAT. Specifically, TAT is a relatively new healing approach and the extent of its effectiveness, as well as its risks and benefits are not yet fully known. Please be advised that emotional or physical sensations or additional unresolved memories may surface. In addition, previously vivid or traumatic memories may fade. This could adversely impact your ability to provide detailed legal testimony regarding a traumatic incident. 

 

You understand that you are freely choosing to take advantage of TAT and would otherwise have the option of using conventional psychotherapy methods exclusively, provided by another therapist of your choosing.  Your consent to this course of treatment is given voluntarily, without coercion, and may be withdrawn. You represent that you’re competent and able to understand the nature and consequences of the proposed TAT treatments or procedures. 

 

As with all forms of psychotherapy, it is possible to experience some emotional distress and physical sensations related to prior life experiences. The clinical reports from Energy Psychology show no additional side-effects when used appropriately. As with any form of psychotherapy, emotions may continue to arise after a therapy session, and you are encouraged to discuss such emotions with me. You further agree to take full responsibility for your self-care in the, mental, and spiritual dimensions of your life. TAT does not provide medical diagnoses nor does it offer cures; it does not replace health care from medical professionals. You agree to consult with your health care provider for any specific medical problems.  

 

By making an appoinment via this website, you knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently assume these risks and agree to release, indemnify, and defend Tapas Fleming, and her agents, consultants, and employees from and against any and all claims which you, or your representatives, may have for any loss, damage, or injury arising out of or in connection with your treatment.
