Confidentiality and Health Care Information
Access and Disclosure
Your hypnotherapist will maintain client records.
These records are sensitive and confidential. They
should be properly documented, stored, retained, and
released only under specific circumstances. Your
hypnotherapist should have a clear procedure to
ensure confidentiality of your records.
You have the right to expect that anything you tell
your hypnotherapist will be held in confidence with a
few specific exceptions:
If you are involved in a civil or criminal lawsuit, a judge can order your file be turned over to the court;
If you make statements that a child, elderly, or disabled person has been abused or neglected, law requires your hypnotherapist to report that information to the appropriate authorities.
If you make statements that indicate you intend to harm yourself or others, your hypnotherapist may report that information to the appropriate authorities.
There also may be circumstances your
hypnotherapist may need to consult with another of
your healthcare providers. You will be asked to sign
an authorization for release of information about your
services. You should be informed of the reason for
such disclosures and are encouraged to ask questions
about anything that is unclear to you, prior to signing
this authorization.
Maintaining a Professional Relationship
Your relationship with your hypnotherapist should be
professional in nature. Hypnotherapy may include
discussing the most private aspects of your life and
relationships. It is your hypnotherapist’s
responsibility to provide an atmosphere of trust and
respect.
Hypnotherapy often deals with difficult and
emotional issues. There may be a time when you feel
confused or troubled by something that occurs during
your session. You are encouraged to talk about this
with your hypnotherapist so you can come to a more
comfortable resolution. If you don’t feel the issue has
been resolved you may wish to get a second opinion.
You may also review the section of the law that
describes forms of unprofessional conduct covered in
RCW 18.130.180. Unprofessional conduct includes,
but is not limited to:
Misrepresentations or false advertising
Incompetence, negligence, or malpractice
Violation of any state or federal code
Willful betrayal of confidentiality
Sexual misconduct
