THE SELFHOOD STUDIO

EDUCATIONAL AND WEBSITE DISCLAIMER

Last Updated: September 26, 2026

Incorporated by reference into the Terms and Conditions. Applies in addition to any Coaching Agreement you sign.

1. Scope

This Disclaimer applies to The Selfhood Studio website (the "Site") and to all Offerings made available through it, including:

• Self-paced courses and educational content.

• Group Framework Coaching cohorts.

• Individual Framework Coaching.

• Educational communities.

• The podcast Jackie Ponders It All.

By accessing the Site or participating in any Offering, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Disclaimer.

2. Education and coaching, not therapy

The Selfhood Studio provides education and coaching. Its educational content teaches the neuroscience of predictive processing and emotion construction as a framework for self-understanding.

Neither educational content nor coaching is therapy. No Offering constitutes psychotherapy, counseling, diagnosis, treatment, trauma processing, or clinical care of any kind.

Participation does not:

• Create a therapist–client or healthcare relationship.

• Constitute mental health diagnosis, treatment, or clinical care.

• Involve trauma processing or crisis intervention.

• Constitute individualized psychological guidance.

• Impose any clinical duty of care.

No diagnosis is made about any participant. No clinical or medical record is created about any participant. The Selfhood Studio is not a covered entity under HIPAA.

This work may feel insightful, meaningful, or emotionally resonant. It remains educational or coaching in nature.

3. About Jackie Reynolds

The Selfhood Studio is operated by Jackie Reynolds, a Board Certified Coach credentialed by the Center for Credentialing and Education. She is bound by the BCC Code of Ethics, which governs the coaching services described in Section 4.

Jackie Reynolds also holds a license as a clinical social worker in the State of Texas only, associated with a separate psychotherapy practice. That practice is operationally and legally independent of The Selfhood Studio. She does not provide psychotherapy, diagnosis, treatment, or clinical care through The Selfhood Studio.

4. Framework Coaching

The Selfhood Studio offers Individual Framework Coaching and Group Framework Coaching. Each requires a signed Framework Coaching Agreement before any coaching begins, and, for cohorts, before any content is released.

Self-paced courses are products. Purchasing a self-paced course does not create a coaching relationship, does not require a Coaching Agreement, and does not cause a coaching record to be created.

Coaching is not therapy and will never include therapy, counseling, or clinical care. The Selfhood Studio may decline to begin or continue any engagement not appropriate for coaching, and will refer to licensed clinical care where appropriate.

5. Separation from clinical practice

Participation in any Offering permanently precludes a psychotherapy relationship with Jackie Reynolds. You cannot become her psychotherapy client at any time, before, during, or after your participation. This does not expire when your participation ends.

Current psychotherapy clients of Jackie Reynolds are not eligible to enroll. The Selfhood Studio may decline enrollment or terminate participation to prevent a dual relationship.

If a multiple relationship situation arises that cannot reasonably be avoided, the potential effects will be discussed with the affected participant, reasonable steps taken to avoid harm, and the discussion documented in that participant's coaching record.

6. Eligibility and suitability

By accessing the Site or purchasing any Offering you represent that you are at least 18; have legal capacity; are not in acute mental health crisis; and have not been directed to participate as a substitute for clinical care.

Offerings are not appropriate for anyone experiencing acute psychiatric symptoms, active suicidality, or conditions requiring clinical-level intervention. You are responsible for assessing your own suitability.

7. No crisis services

The Selfhood Studio does not monitor participant wellbeing and does not provide crisis intervention, emergency mental health services, or safety planning.

If you are in immediate distress, contact a licensed mental health professional in your jurisdiction or your local emergency services. In the United States you may call or text 988.

8. Personal responsibility and no reliance

You are solely responsible for how you interpret and apply anything provided through the Site or any Offering.

Nothing provided constitutes, or should be relied upon as, medical or mental health advice or treatment, legal advice, financial advice, or a guarantee of any outcome.

No warranties are made regarding outcomes, results, or suitability. All Offerings are provided "as is."

9. Group programs and community spaces

Group settings are educational or coaching environments, not therapy groups.

Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed in any group or community setting. The Selfhood Studio does not control participant-to-participant communication. Participants are responsible for what they choose to share.

Group Framework Coaching is governed by a separate Coaching Agreement and a separate Participation and Recording Consent.

Any participant may be removed from a group setting, without refund, for behavior that is disruptive, harmful, or inconsistent with the educational or coaching purpose of the program.

10. The podcast

Jackie Ponders It All is a cultural commentary podcast examining films, television, books, and cultural artifacts, and what the messaging inside them taught women about themselves.

Jackie Reynolds is a licensed clinical social worker and brings that professional lens to the analysis. The podcast applies clinical and developmental frameworks to fictional characters as an illustrative and educational device.

The podcast does not diagnose, assess, or characterize any real individual, living or dead. It is not therapy. Listening creates no professional relationship of any kind, and no advice is given about any listener's personal circumstances. Analysis of a fictional character says nothing about any listener.

Questions about media and cultural patterns may be discussed on the show. Questions about a listener's own life, relationships, or mental health will not be answered.

11. Direct messages, comments, and social media

The Selfhood Studio communicates publicly through this Site, email, and social media including Instagram.

Jackie Reynolds reads and sometimes replies to comments and direct messages. A reply is a social interaction. It is not coaching, therapy, advice about your situation, or care of any kind, and it creates no professional, coaching, clinical, or contractual relationship.

There is no obligation to respond and no guaranteed response. Messages are not monitored for urgency, crisis, or anything requiring a timely reply. Non-response is not a withholding of care.

No clinical work occurs in a direct message. Where a conversation moves toward a participant's particular circumstances, history, relationships, or mental health, it will be redirected to the appropriate resource.

Following, commenting, or messaging does not create any relationship with Jackie Reynolds or The Selfhood Studio.

To engage any Offering you must enroll through the official process and accept the applicable Terms or sign the applicable Coaching Agreement.

Please do not share sensitive personal information, identifying details about other people, or content involving safety concerns through any message, comment, or unofficial channel. Reporting obligations under Section 12 apply regardless of the channel through which information arrives. If you are in crisis, contact a licensed professional or your local emergency services. See Section 7.

Further detail is set out in the Social Media and DM Policy.

12. Disclosure obligations

Two separate sets of obligations apply.

Mandatory reporting. Texas law requires any person who has reasonable cause to believe that a child is being abused or neglected to report immediately (Texas Family Code § 261.101). The same applies to abuse, neglect, or exploitation of an elderly person or a person with a disability (Texas Human Resources Code § 48.051). These obligations are universal. They apply regardless of setting, capacity, or the channel through which information reaches The Selfhood Studio.

Danger to self or others. Under the BCC Code of Ethics (Section A, Item 7), which governs coaching engagements only, The Selfhood Studio is required to disclose to appropriate governmental agencies when a participant appears to be a danger to themselves or others.

No duty to warn. Texas law does not require The Selfhood Studio to warn a specific third party of threats made by a participant (Thapar v. Zezulka, 994 S.W.2d 635 (Tex. 1999)). However, Texas Health and Safety Code § 611.004 permits disclosure to law enforcement if there is a probability of imminent physical injury. That disclosure, if made, is protected by statutory immunity.

Disclosure may occur without advance notice. Please do not disclose identifying details relating to active safety concerns through this Site, in any Offering, or in any communication channel.

13. Intellectual property

All content available through the Site and Offerings, including course materials, videos, written content, branding, frameworks, and methodologies, is the proprietary intellectual property of The Selfhood Studio.

The Selfhood Operating System, Inherited Architecture, and all related models, diagrams, and terminology are proprietary frameworks of The Selfhood Studio.

Participants receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable personal-use license and may not:

• Reproduce, distribute, resell, or share materials.

• Teach, facilitate, or commercialize any proprietary framework.

• Create derivative works.

• Upload materials to file-sharing platforms, group chats, online communities, or any artificial intelligence tool.

Unauthorized use may result in immediate termination of access and legal action.

14. AI tools

Some educational materials include prompts, templates, or guidance for use with third-party artificial intelligence tools. This guidance is educational only.

You are solely responsible for anything you submit to an AI tool. We strongly advise against submitting sensitive personal information, identifying details about other people, or content involving mental health, trauma, or safety concerns to any AI system.

AI tools are operated by third parties under their own terms. We do not control how those systems store, process, or use what you submit. AI outputs may be inaccurate and should not be treated as professional advice.

15. Third-party platforms

The Selfhood Studio maintains a presence on third-party platforms including social media, podcast platforms, and email services. Interactions there are governed by those platforms' terms. The Selfhood Studio is not responsible for their content, policies, performance, or privacy practices.

16. Site provided as is

The Site and all content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. No warranty is made that the Site will be uninterrupted or error-free.

The Selfhood Studio may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site or any Offering at any time without notice or liability.

17. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Selfhood Studio, its owners, employees, contractors, and agents are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Site, participation in any Offering, or reliance on any content. Total liability shall not exceed the amount paid for the specific Offering giving rise to the claim.

Where a jurisdiction does not allow such exclusions, liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted.

18. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless The Selfhood Studio, Jackie Reynolds, and their employees, contractors, and agents from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your use of the Site or participation in any Offering; your violation of this Disclaimer or the Terms; your violation of any law; or misuse or unauthorized distribution of any Selfhood Studio materials.

19. Acceptance

By accessing the Site, enrolling in any Offering, or using any content, you confirm you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Disclaimer, which is incorporated by reference into the Terms and Conditions.

20. Severability

If any provision is found unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions continue in full force.

21. Governing law

Governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Disputes are subject to the dispute resolution process in the Terms and Conditions.

22. Updates

This Disclaimer may be updated at any time. The Last Updated date reflects the most recent revision. Continued use following an update constitutes acceptance.
