What is a Death Doula?

?

Our Relationship:

Although I believe it is appropriate at times to discuss psychological and relational difficulties in the context of spiritual direction, I am not a psychotherapist nor do I provide such services. At times, I will make recommendations.

Similarly you recognize that spiritual direction is not financial advice and any decisions and actions you may take in that regard are done without my advice or recommendation, and are purely your responsibility.

Occasionally, I will (or we will mutually) discern that you may be better off in counseling rather than direction or I will suggest counseling in addition to spiritual direction.

Confidentiality

You have a right to expect confidentiality of the information we share with each other. I commit to holding our conversations in the strictest confidence. 

I am permitted or required by law to disclose information without your consent or authorization in some situations. These situations fall under Mandated Reporter requirements in some state. Examples include self-harm, minor or elderly abuse.

If one arises, I will make every effort to discuss it with you before taking action.

Termination:

The format of Spiritual Direction may not be for everyone. You may discontinue Spiritual Direction at any time. Please give 30-days advance notice if you intend to discontinue meeting together.
