(*subject to demand and scheduling requirements)

COACHING SUPPORT (DURING LIVE GROUP COACHING SUPPORT SESSIONS AND THE FACEBOOK GROUP)

Live, group coaching support will be given on a first-come, first-served basis to those who request it during the call until we have reached the end of the time allocated for that call (1 hour). Some of you will naturally be more vocal than others and bearing this in mind, I will try to make sure that every participant who wants it, receives the support that they need within the time frame available.

I will be in the private, member's-only Facebook group, reading and moderating all posts but will not be offering individual coaching support in this forum which is exclusively for peer-to-peer support.

COACHING COMMITMENT

Once you have joined the Making Peace With Your Past community and programme, I consider myself fully committed to you and your healing journey and I hope that you will be too. This commitment includes you following through with your payment schedule if you have opted to pay in installments.

PUNCTUALITY & PRESENCE ON LIVE COACHING SUPPORT CALLS

Please set aside the time that you need in order to show up on calls in a punctual manner, calm and ready to participate. The group space is sacred and needs to feel safe for all attendees so logging on late (for whatever valid reason) or needing to leave early can feel very disruptive to the energy of the group. If you are unable to make the entire session, it is best to catch up with the recording at your leisure.

Call recordings will only be available for a set period of time (one month) after the call itself before being deleted.

Please make sure that you are in a quiet location during the live calls - somewhere you are not likely to be disturbed or distracted by anyone or anything (including kids, partners or pets) - and do your best to delegate the care of anything that might disturb or distract you to someone capable who understands the importance of your full participation. That said, I understand that sometimes unforeseen emergencies do arise and you may need to attend to them.

If there is a lot of background noise where you are located, or when someone else is speaking, I will either ask that your speaker be turned off or I will turn it off for you. Please practise deep listening when others are sharing (remaining present and alert until they have finished) as well as deep honesty when sharing yourself. The programme is to support you to find and share your truth with the world so commit to practising this in this safe, held space!

There is no obligation to share your past, background, healing journey or current challenges at any point during the programme. The priority is for you to feel safe and held in your process whilst learning and practising the tools that the course will teach you. That said, allowing yourself to be witnessed on your journey by me, and by the other members of the community, through sharing what is coming up for you (breakdowns and breakthroughs) can be deeply cathartic, validating, motivating and empowering! So I would encourage you to find that balance between your comfort zone and your desire to share/change that feels just right for you.

TRIGGERS & CONFLICT IN THE FACEBOOK GROUP

It is normal to feel triggered by others' behaviour. And as a conscious adult, it is your responsibility to manage how you respond to those triggers. Exploring the root of your reactivity in order to heal it, is something that you will be exploring in the programme but in the meantime, please take full charge of your own emotional wellbeing.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by your feelings at any time, either bring them to the calls to be witnessed and processed (by naming what is going on for you) or find the external support that you need. Triggers are a potent portal into our unhealed wounds so try to see them as a fantastic opportunity for growth instead of as a hindrance!

Harmful or bullying behaviour or comments in the calls or Facebook group will not be tolerated.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

Please rest assured that all matters discussed - whether on calls or in the FaceBook group, remain fully confidential. Please see my Privacy Policy (https://www.laviniabrown.com/privacy-policy) for more information. I am professionally insured to work with clients online worldwide (public and private indemnity) with BGi. I ask that you respect all that is shared in the same way and that you do not disclose anything that is said on calls or written in the Facebook group with anyone else.

DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATIONS OF THE COACHING RELATIONSHIP

My expertise is to get you from where you are now, to where you want to be. Along the way, you may find parts of the Making Peace With Your Past programme personally challenging, particularly as we explore self-limiting beliefs, past trauma or fear-based mindsets in order for you to move beyond these. This is totally normal and part of the process!

You may also experience temporary ‘negative’ feelings such as sadness, shame, anger, guilt, disappointment or anxiety which should transform over the course of the programme as you find your authenticity and learn to be even more self-compassionate and self-loving.

My role, as a trauma-informed, psychodynamic coach, is to witness, encourage and support you towards your transformation in a safe and non-judgmental space. You alone, however, are responsible for your emotional and mental well-being, and should these negative feelings persist or should you find yourself totally overwhelmed by them, you will need to seek other forms of support or professional help.

WAIVER AND RELEASE

I take full responsibility for my commitment to the Making Peace With Your Past programme and understand that there is no guarantee of reaching my goals.

I assume sole risk of harm and loss, and, for myself and my heirs, irrevocably waive, release, and discharge Lavinia Brown and her agents from any and all liabilities and claims (contractual, statutory, and tortious) that may arise in connection with my participation in the coaching programme, including but not limited to claims for emotional distress.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

I have no right to use or reproduce any of the processes, techniques, presentations, methodologies or materials used by Lavinia Brown in any of her coaching programmes or outside of it. I must not at any time reproduce materials given to me except for my own personal use.
