Participant Name: ______________________________

Date of Agreement: _____________________________

Program Start Date: ____________________________

1. PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT

This Agreement establishes an educational coaching beta participation relationship only. It shall not be construed as creating a therapist-client relationship, healthcare relationship, mental health treatment relationship, employment relationship, partnership, or other professional treatment relationship.

Participant is being granted complimentary access to Instinct to Intention™ and The H.A.R.N.E.S.S. Method™ as a member of the Founding Beta Cohort.

The purpose of beta participation is to allow Coach to evaluate curriculum effectiveness, participant experience, educational outcomes, community structure, coaching delivery, technology systems, and overall Program development prior to broader public release.

Participant understands that no monetary payment is required for participation, and that Participant shall not be entitled to any other compensation in exchange for his or her participation.

In exchange for receiving complimentary access, Participant agrees to actively engage in the beta process and provide meaningful feedback regarding their experience.

2. NATURE OF THE PROGRAM

Instinct to Intention™ and The H.A.R.N.E.S.S. Method™ are educational and personal development programs designed to support increased self-awareness, behavioral insight, intentional decision-making, personal growth, and the development of new behavioral capacities.

Although Coach’s principal is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), all services provided under this Agreement are coaching and educational services only.

Coach is not acting in the role of psychotherapist, mental health provider, healthcare provider, treating clinician, or crisis provider.

Participation does not constitute psychotherapy, counseling, mental health treatment, diagnosis, assessment, crisis intervention, or healthcare services.

Program content may incorporate concepts from neuroscience, psychology, behavioral science, attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, performance science, and related disciplines solely for educational purposes.

No therapist-client relationship is established through enrollment, participation, live calls, private sessions, community participation, written communication, email communication, text communication, Facebook interactions, or use of Program materials.

3. PARTICIPANT SUITABILITY

Participant represents that they are capable of participating in a coaching and educational program and are not currently experiencing a mental health crisis, active psychosis, severe substance impairment, active suicidal ideation, active homicidal ideation, psychiatric instability, or another condition requiring immediate clinical intervention.

Participant agrees to seek appropriate medical, psychiatric, psychological, or mental health treatment if such circumstances arise during participation.

Coach reserves the right to suspend or terminate participation if concerns arise that fall outside the scope of coaching and education.

4. BETA PROGRAM NATURE AND CHANGES

Participant understands that the Program remains under development.

Curriculum, materials, schedules, community features, technologies, educational approaches, Program structure, delivery methods, live calls, private sessions, graduate features, and communication channels may change during participation without prior notice.

Participant voluntarily assumes all risks associated with participation in the Program and acknowledges that such experiences may occur as part of the educational process.

Participant understands that emotional activation, discomfort, or increased awareness during participation does not mean Coach is providing psychotherapy, mental health treatment, psychological assessment, diagnosis, or healthcare services.
