Where do you offer In-Person services?
Currently we only offer in-person services in Calgary, Alberta. There may be opportunities to offer in-person services in other locations for a limited amount of time. To learn more Contact Free From Issues directly. Distance Based Services are available in most places.
Who will I be dealing with during my session?
For now you will be talking to DevonK (Free From Issues Founder) directly. In the future other people may be available for sessions.
How long do In-Person Session last?
Sessions last 50 - 60 min depending on what's happening. This is because every session, situation, and person is different and needs different things.
Where do the sessions take place?
You can come to us in DevonK's own home or for an additional fee we can come to your home. We don't generally recommend other locations as they can be distracting and take away from the session. However, arrangements can usually be made to accommodate.
How often should I have sessions done?
In the beginning sessions should ideally be done once a week to once every two weeks. Then as time progresses, and you don't need as intense work, dropping down to once a month and then once a season (three months). After that, when you have a very good handle on everything, then you can drop down again to once a year or only as needed.
Having said that, not everyone can afford the cost of doing one session a week, etc. If you can only afford one session a month, or every few months, then we will do what we can to work within those boundaries. In rare cases we may even be able to arrange a trade of services (entirely up to the session provider).
Do you also offer group sessions?
At the moment we only offer in-person and Phone / Skype Support Sessions. In the future, when demand allows, we will expand into offer group sessions. If you would like to have a private group session in your own home with your friends and family, we can negotiate the cost based on the number of participants, etc. Contact Free From Issues and we can work out the details (or to let us know you would like to participate in a group session).
What's generally involved with a session?
In a normal session you sit comfortably in a chair, on the couch, or wherever works best for you; and then we sit and talk. Over the course of our talk we'll begin to learn about you, what you want from our services (and your life in general), and figure out what the best tools and information are for you - as an individual.
The easiest way to understand this process is to think of it as a combination of Counseling, Life Coaching, Therapy Work, Self-Help, Human Nature, and Reality - all rolled together with homework.
Why do you give homework as part of your sessions?
One of the problems with modern therapy, counseling, etc., is that they're passive. By adding homework we get you involved in your own life and also set goals for you to meet for the next session. Yet, more than that, it also allows us to provide you "things" you can do that will add depth and meaning to your own life.
Do you offer Healing / Energetic Work as part of you sessions?
Healing / Energy Work isn't normally used "directly" as part of a session. However, if we feel that there is a benefit to using it (or you request it as part of your session), we can more than happily add it in (all for the same price).
Note: The energy work we do is called Tao-Te-Chi and it originally evolved from Reiki over a decade ago. Today Tao-Te-Chi shares only a small number of commonalities with Reiki, however, anything Reiki does Tao-Te-Chi can do - plus so much more.
How can I pay for the sessions?
In the beginning the only options are to pay via cash or money order at the start of a session or to pay via PayPal (credit card, etc.) before the session. Later on, after we get to know you better, we may also allow you to pay by check / cheque.
Do I get a discount if I book multiple session in advance?
That depends entirely on how far in advance you want to book the sessions and how many sessions you're booking. For specific information, please Contact Free From Issues and let us know what you're looking to do.
What happens if I need help outside of my booked session times?
We work very hard to make sure we provide tools, techniques, and options to help you through the difficult times. If they don't work you can come visit the Free From Issues website or blog, listen to Free From Issues Podcasts, or e-mail us and let us know what's happening. If we can we'll arrange another session or give you a quick call to help you get through the hard time. The only other option would be to arrange to have some Phone Support time booked. That way you can also do Phone Support outside of the In-Person session.
What happens if I'm not satisfied with my session?
In the beginning you most likely won't be satisfied. This is because we are working to challenge your issues and expand your life. Your issues are there to try and protect you from some "perceived" harm and will inevitably view our actions, at first, as causing harm. Once your mind realizes that our actions are helping you, then it will allow you to feel satisfaction in all the work we do (both you and us).
