Ethics
The work at Studio Somnus is guided by a small number of enduring principles: care, discretion, and personal responsibility. Each engagement is approached as a protected space for attentive inquiry into the inner life.
The following commitments describe the ethical framework within which the studio operates:
-
Studio Somnus offers reflective and contemplative work designed to support clarity, orientation, and shifts in perception.
The studio does not diagnose medical or psychological conditions, provide clinical treatment, or promise specific outcomes. Its work does not replace care provided by licensed medical, psychological, or psychiatric professionals.
-
Private sessions are conducted in strict confidence and are reserved exclusively for the individual who arranges them.
In shared settings—such as coteries or group gatherings—participants are encouraged to treat what is shared with discretion and respect. Because these settings involve multiple individuals, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed.
-
Participation in the work of Studio Somnus is voluntary and undertaken with personal discernment.
Each individual remains responsible for their own interpretations, decisions, and actions arising from the work. Insight unfolds differently for each person, and integration proceeds according to individual readiness and circumstance.
-
In collective settings, participants are expected to maintain thoughtful and respectful conduct toward others.
Studio Somnus reserves the right to decline or discontinue participation when behavior becomes unsafe, disruptive, or incompatible with the ethos of the work.
-
Studio Somnus does not provide crisis intervention, emergency care, or acute psychological services.
Individuals experiencing significant distress are encouraged to seek appropriate support through licensed professionals or emergency resources.
-
Many sessions take place through secure online platforms. While reasonable care is taken, Studio Somnus cannot assume responsibility for technical interruptions, platform limitations, or security vulnerabilities beyond its control.
-
Studio Somnus is a private hypnotherapy and contemplative practice operated by Sander as a sole proprietorship.
The studio serves an international clientele and primarily conducts sessions online. All offerings are available only to individuals who have reached legal adulthood in their jurisdiction.
The work of Studio Somnus is reflective and non-clinical in nature and does not substitute for professional medical or mental-health care.
