Under New Jersey Law, a hypnotist may not provide a medical diagnosis or recommend discontinuance of medically prescribed treatments. If a client desires a diagnosis or any other type of treatment from a different practitioner, the client may seek such services at any time. In the event my services are terminated by a client, the client has a right to coordinated transfer of services to another practitioner. A client has a right to refuse hypnosis services at any time. A client has a right to be free of physical, verbal or sexual abuse. A client has a right to know the expected duration of treatment, and may assert any right without retaliation.

I understand that Brian Eslick, BCH is not a Physician, does not practice medicine, and does not diagnose or treat any medical condition. I affirm that I am not currently being treated for any medical condition related to my requested behavior modification program. Hypnosis can be used as a complementary care to most medical conditions, however a referral from your physician for pain control or licensed mental health counselor is required if requesting this type of hypnosis treatment. I understand hypnosis does not constitute Psychiatric treatment, Psychotherapy or Psychoanalysis.

I am aware and understand that in some cases it may be necessary for the practitioner to respectfully touch my shoulder(s), hand, wrist, or forehead in order to assist me in relaxation. I give the practitioner permission and consent to do so in order to help me establish a beneficial state of hypnosis. It is understood that I will immediately discontinue the use of hypnotherapy, if directed by my physician.
