their personal process and the parts of themselves they
have been reluctant to reveal. We encourage students to
practice a high level of confidentiality now so that they are
fully prepared to create a safe, secure environment for
their own clients when they begin their healing
practices. Please observe the following standards of
confidentiality. A high level of confidentiality is essential.
1. During class weeks, do not talk about other people
and their process. If you wish, share your personal
experiences, but you must be very careful not to bring
gossip into your sharing. This means not talking about
other students, their process, what they said or what they
did. If it serves no purpose in your learning or in
another’s process, then it should not be talked about.
Give your fellow students the freedom to fully experience
their own process without outside comment, judgment,
or intervention.
2. Nothing of a personal nature about another student’s
participation inside of class should ever be talked about
outside of the classroom. The names of all participants
in these classes are confidential as well as their words
and actions. Of course, you can talk about the types
of things that are learned. We encourage you to talk
about the things you study and do in the learning process.
You can cover the full spectrum of activities, but be sure
not to compromise anyone’s privacy.
3. Be careful about misrepresenting the class work to
those outside of class. Many people do not understand
how and what we study and can be threatened,
confused, or fearful about our work. Be sure that you
are communicating with them in a way that contributes
to their own sense of well-being and also honors the
healing profession.
4. Mailing lists are also confidential. Please do not use
any mailing list of the students in your class or any
other class to create networks. If you wish to make a
mailing list on your own, write the purpose of the mailing
list, including exactly what the names will be used for, on
a blank piece of paper and ask people to personally sign
the list giving you their addresses.
5. The complete confidentiality of private healings, private
supervision, Brennan Integration Work sessions, and
private group supervision given outside of the class
meetings will be honored by those practitioners who also
teach at the School.

SCHOOL POLICIES
Formal school policies are presented in a format
indicating the subject of the policy, the group of
individuals to whom the policy applies, and, in the case
of newer policies, the date the policy becomes effective.
A brief discussion of the purpose of the policy is included.
The consequence of not following the policy is clearly
indicated and will be adhered to.
School policies are subject to change. Students are
notified of changes in existing policies at least 30 days
before the effective date of the policy. Since new policies
are made in response to an immediate need, there may
not be time to notify students about a new policy before
it goes into effect. However, students are notified of new
policies as soon as possible.
The following policies apply to students in all
Barbara Brennan School of Healing institutions both in
the United States and worldwide.
