Educational and clinical-use disclaimer

Brian Kennedy Learning provides education and guided reflection, not individualized diagnosis, treatment, clinical supervision, emergency care, professional certification, or continuing-education credit. Reading, purchasing, or using these resources does not create a therapist–client or supervisor–supervisee relationship with Brian Kennedy. Existing professional relationships remain governed by their separate agreements.

No particular clinical or personal outcome is guaranteed. Assessments are original educational reflection tools, not standardized diagnostic tests. Clinicians remain responsible for their professional judgment, appropriate consent, scope of practice, licensing requirements, and ethical obligations. These materials do not replace training, supervision, consultation, or individualized assessment. This notice does not transfer all liability to the reader or waive rights protected by law.

Examples are presented for teaching, not as evidence about your history or another person. An illustrative or fictional example is identified as such; a composite combines elements rather than presenting an individual case. Do not assume that every example has undergone a formal HIPAA de-identification process. Identifiable clinical material requires an appropriate privacy and permission review before publication. Do not enter client records or identifying clinical details into these tools.

You may skip, adapt, or stop an exercise. Joint exercises require freely chosen participation and safety; do not use them where there is coercion, violence, intimidation, or fear of retaliation. This site is not monitored for emergencies. In the United States, call 911 for immediate danger or call or text 988 for crisis support. Elsewhere, contact local emergency or crisis services.
