Welcome to the Neural Revolution!

Ready To Hyperfocus Session Agreement

This Agreement is entered into by and between Eliza Barach McCurdy of Neural Revolution, hereinafter referred to as the "Coach" and the individual booking a Ready To Hyperfocus Session, hereinafter referred to as the "Client." By booking a session, the Client agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

Coach-Client Relationship

A. Coach agrees to maintain the ethics and standards of behavior established by the International Coaching Federation "(ICF)" (https://coachingfederation.org/ethics/code-of-ethics), the Professional Association for ADHD Coaches "(PAAC)" (https://paaccoaches.org/core-competencies/) and the CCE's BCC Code of ethics (https://www.cce-global.org/Assets/Ethics/BCCcodeofethics.pdf).

It is recommended that the Client review the ICF Code of Ethics, the applicable standards of behavior, the PAAC core competencies as well as the CCE's BCC Code of ethics.

B. Client is solely responsible for creating and implementing their own physical, mental and emotional well-being, decisions, choices, actions and results arising out of or resulting from the coaching relationship and their coaching session and interactions with the Coach. As such, the Client agrees that the Coach is not and will not be liable or responsible for any actions or inaction, or for any direct or indirect result of any services provided by the Coach. Client understands coaching is not therapy and does not substitute for therapy if needed, and does not prevent, cure, or treat any mental disorder or medical disease.

C. Client acknowledges that coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association and that coaching is not to be used as a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, substance abuse treatment, or other professional advice by legal, medical or other qualified professionals and that it is the Client's exclusive responsibility to seek such independent professional guidance as needed. If Client is currently under the care of a mental health professional, it is recommended that the Client promptly inform the mental health care provider of the nature and extent of the coaching relationship agreed upon by the Client and the Coach.

D. The Client agrees that deciding how to handle issues discussed in the session, incorporate coaching principles into those areas, and implementing choices is exclusively the Client's responsibility.
