Expect To Learn:
By having compassionate, professional boundaries in tact, we
instill a sense of dignity and respect to our clients, our
industry and ourselves. Respect refers to a consideration or
thoughtfulness manifested by words and deeds. In the
therapeutic relationship, respect has several indications,
some of which are discussed in codes of ethics and standards
of practice. It is imperative the therapist recognize the
value of the therapeutic relationship and the client as an
individual. Respect is demonstrated through communication
during the informed consent process. This would explain the
how, who, why and when of the session, which allows the
client to ask questions and to work toward mutual agreement.
Our mission regarding home-study courses at Sacred Stone
Center for Holistic Education and Healing is to help you
know yourself better, stay informed with the industry
standards, and help you to better serve your clients.
Staying informed, knowing yourself (your gifts, boundaries &
challenges) and better serving your clients will improve the
entire bodywork profession. Your devotion to learning,
serving, and healing will be apparent in your work and your
attitude. In turn, your clients will reap the positive
affects.
This course
will focus on the topic of ethics as it relates to
compassionate communication, listening and speaking to your
client in a professional manner. As bodyworkers, we are
challenged daily with decisions that could adversely or
positively affect our success and the professionalism of the
industry. Ethics and professionalism can be very personal,
controversial and individual, so this course will address
generalized issues determined by the code of ethics
developed by the National Board of Therapeutic Bodywork and
Massage (NCBTMB), The Associated Bodywork & Massage
Professionals (ABMP), and The American Massage Therapy
Association (AMTA). There will always be situations you have
to access uniquely and trust your judgment.
The manual has
many detailed pictures and is very easy to understand. Upon
receipt of your answer sheet with a score of 75% or higher
and course evaluation, you will be awarded your CE hours
from the NCBTMB and sent a professional wall certificate.
Students are given 1 year (from the date the home study
package is sent in the mail) to complete their course.
