Q:  Are there any age requirements for admission to this program?

A:  You need to be at least 16 years old. There is no upper age limit providing the person is mentally competent and has a reasonably good memory. It has been my experience that even the most advanced age is no barrier to the profound changes that EFT and other energy psychology techniques can bring about.

Q:  Are there any physical or mental limitations?

A.  You need to be able to speak over the telephone or have someone who can speak for you who agrees to be on the phone and talk for you during the tapping sessions if you cannot do this for yourself. You also need to have a reasonably good command of conversational English.

If you have been hospitalized for a psychiatric condition in the past, or if you have suicidal thoughts at the present time, Dr. Carrington will need to communicate with your psychiatrist or other health care provider to find out whether it is considered safe for you to undertake a course of therapy over the phone. If you are severely depressed or suffer from some other severe psychiatric condition you should not enter this time-limited program.

Q:  What are the costs involved and the arrangements?

A.  The cost for the six week Breakthrough Treatment Program is 6 weekly installments of $310 each, or you can pay in two installments of $925 each, or $1800 if paid in advance. It can be paid by credit card (we keep your credit card information on file for the duration of the 6 weeks only), by check, or through Paypal. If you have taken Dr. Carrington's Individual Assessment and Planning session, you can if you wish have it count as one of your 6 sessions, and the cost of that program ($300) will be subtracted from the total cost of the 6 week program.

Note that if a client runs over the 1 hour limit of the session to complete an intensive piece of work, the extra time is prorated so that you pay only that portion of the extra hour that you actually use. Up to half an hour of extra time is usually available if it is clearly required but most sessions are completed within the hour.

Q:  What is your cancellation policy?

You must notify the Administrator of the program, Debra Thomas at debra101@comcast.net of an upcoming cancellation at least 24 hours in advance of your session (except in the event of an emergency) or you will be charged for that session. If we are given sufficient advance notice, we attempt to adjust scheduling of your sessions to accommodate irregularities of your schedule which may become necessary because of legitimate demands of your business or home life, but in that event it is not always possible to reschedule your session within the same week.

Q:  Can I obtain insurance reimbursement for these sessions?

A:  This depends upon your insurance policy. If your policy covers "outpatient psychotherapy" this is a possibility because Dr. Carrington's services are billed under this heading, complete with diagnosis, treatment codes etc. as required by insurance companies. She is a licensed Practicing Psychologist in the state of New Jersey and will be considered an "out of network" provider by your insurance company because she does not presently belong to any network. If your claim is approved by your insurance carrier their reimbursement for her services could be as much as 50% of the amount paid to her, the exact percentage depending upon the terms of your policy. If you request this, she will submit an invoice to you at the end of the six session program which will be in standard format suitable for submission to your insurance carrier. The only reason for their possible refusal to cover her services might be the fact that she does not reside in your state. You may or may not want to question the insurance company in advance about this geographical issue, some people have preferred simply to submit their claim after termination of the program without comment, and these claims have often been paid. Use your own judgment as to whether to inquire beforehand.

Q:  How quickly can I obtain the recordings of my sessions and how do I go about doing this?

A:  To increase the impact of these sessions, each session is recorded and the complete replay of it made available for you to download as an MP3 file within 24-48 hours following the end of the session. For security purposes, the recordings are made on a conference call line to which only you and Dr. Carrington have access.

Q:  How much homework is required between sessions? What does it consist of?

A:  You are not required to do any homework between sessions in order to comply with the program, but we recommend that you use homework if you want to obtain the most benefit from your work with Dr. Carrington.  If you choose to do this, your homework assignments are created at the close of each session to suit your current needs.

Q:  How experienced do I have to be with forms of Meridian Tapping such as EFT to benefit from this program?

A:  You only need to know where the tapping spots are located to follow along as Pat leads you in the tapping process because she repeats the location of each tapping spot as you come to it. If you are a complete newcomer and have never used a form of meridian tapping before, go to http://www.masteringeft.com to see a video demo of the tapping points.

Q:  In what time-zone do these meridian tapping sessions originate?

A:  Dr. Carrington's office is in U.S. Eastern Time.

Q:  Can evening appointments be scheduled?

A:  A few evening appointments are available at the time of this posting. For more up to date information contact Debra Thomas, the program Administrator by email (see below).

Q:  Can I schedule a single session with Dr. Carrington?

A: Only for evaluation and planning purposes. You can schedule a 90 minute telephone session with Dr. Carrington, but this does not count as part of the Individual Breakthrough program unless you want it to be, it is a separate arrangement (see – Individual Assessment & Planning Session)

Q:  If I live within driving distance of Dr. Carrington’s office can I schedule meetings with her in person?

A: Not at the present time, your sessions need to be by telephone wherever you live. If this situation changes this will be announced.
