Trauma Healing Belgium

Code of Ethics

Our Code of Ethics

Trauma Healing Belgium places great importance on safety, transparency, and professional conduct within the Somatic Experiencing® community in Belgium.

For this reason, the Ethical Circle has developed a Belgian adaptation of the Code of Ethics & Standards. This code is grounded in the core values of Somatic Experiencing® and supports us in remaining aware of the roles, responsibilities and possible vulnerabilities that may arise within trainings, assisting roles, professional relationships and the wider SE community.

The code offers a shared foundation for dialogue, reflection and ethical practice. It includes both guiding principles and concrete standards regarding confidentiality, professional boundaries, education and training, multiple relationships, respectful communication and the prevention of abusive or inappropriate behaviour.

With this publication, we aim to contribute to a safe, respectful and nurturing environment in which students, assistants, practitioners and trainers can learn, collaborate and grow.
