Communication Guide for Outside Sessions
To support you in feeling safe and connected, here is a guide to how we can communicate outside of our sessions:
Where to Communicate with Me:
mike@michaelvaccaro.com.au
Purpose of Communication:
You can email me if you want to share updates, ask quick questions, or reflect on something from our sessions.
You can contact me to book another meeting in addition to our regular meeting arrangement.
When I Will Respond:
I will aim to respond to emails within [24-48 hours] 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday.
If it’s something urgent that needs immediate support, please consider reaching out to [crisis hotline/service] or a trusted person.
What to Include in Your Emails:
Brief summaries or updates about how you’re feeling.
Questions or thoughts related to our work together.
What Emails Are Not For:
In-depth processing of sensitive issues (we will save this for our sessions).
Crisis situations (please use emergency resources for immediate help).
Unrelated content not relevant to our work together.
How I Will Respond:
My replies will be brief and focused to support your reflection or next steps.
My replies may be single word or emoji acknowledgements simply to let you know I have read your email.
I’ll aim to offer clarity, reassurance, or a suggestion for what to explore next.
May all beings be happy,
Mike Vaccaro
