Participant Consent
We will email this consent form for your signature to scan and submit along with your license verification.
I acknowledge that I have been informed of and understand the following:
I have been informed and understand this is an Attachment-Focused EMDR Workshop and is not an EMDRIA-affiliated workshop.
During this workshop, I will be asked to serve as a client, therapist, and observer to enhance everyone’s learning.
I agree that I am psychologically and physically stable enough to take on these roles in this setting.
I recognize that serving as a client may cause emotional distress and that I will do what is needed to take care of myself if any discomfort arises as a result.
In order to receive an attendance certificate and CEs for this workshop, I must attend the entire workshop, log in and out each day, and complete each day’s practicum and required evaluations.
If I arrive 15 minutes late, leave 15 minutes early, or do not complete the workshop, I will not be eligible for a refund.
Parnell Institute, LLC reserves the right to determine whether I am eligible to continue the workshop at any stage.
Although it happens rarely, the Parnell Institute sometimes determines that a participant cannot participate fully, has not mastered the material adequately, or is too disruptive to continue. If this were to occur, the Parnell Institute would provide an opportunity to remedy the issues and return at a later date. However, I understand that this would be done at my own expense.
This is why, as of January 1, 2022, we have elected to no longer affiliate our trainings and workshops with EMDRIA.
