12.5  Nature of the Program as Personal Development, Not Therapy. The Program includes elements of personal development, self-reflection, and experiential practice as part of learning hypnotic facilitation. This is not group therapy, individual counselling, or a substitute for professional mental health support. Practice sessions, peer work, demonstrations, and community platforms must not be used as a forum for disclosing or processing significant personal trauma. Where a Student wishes to share a personal example or experience for learning purposes, this should be shared briefly and only to the extent relevant to the skill being practised, rather than as an in-depth account of a traumatic event. Where a Student wishes to work through significant personal trauma or psychological difficulty, Maddison Everist, Bloomin Within encourages them to seek support from a qualified mental health professional, and can provide referral information on request. Neither Maddison Everist, Bloomin Within nor its teaching staff act as a Student's personal therapist or counsellor at any point during the Program.
