The Consultation That Protects You
Sets realistic expectations, surfaces safety concerns and creates the written record that supports you.
What am I doing?
A repeatable conversation that captures goals, history, screening answers and consent before any device touches the client.
Where am I doing it?
Every client, every first visit · Re-check briefly at every follow-up
How do I do it safely?
Any yes on a significant screening item means stop and seek appropriate evaluation or clearance.
What do I do next?
Document the session, give aftercare and set the follow-up.
