Consent, in clear terms
Consent is part of good care. It keeps control clear when something feels sensitive.
Consent in Feelpath is simple on purpose. Before a session starts, each participant makes two choices. One choice controls whether their words are saved as a transcript for Insights. One choice controls whether their therapist can view their words in Feelpath. These are per session, per participant choices. They can be updated later.
Saving a transcript
Saving is about what gets kept after the call. In Feelpath, saving controls whether the platform stores your words as a transcript for this session.
If you save a transcript, Feelpath can generate Insights from your words. If you do not save a transcript, no Insights are generated for that session.
If someone in the session does not save a transcript, their words are not stored as transcript text. Their lines appear as [redacted] in stored transcripts.
Sharing with a therapist
Sharing is about access.
If you share your transcript with your therapist, it allows your therapist to view your words for that session in Feelpath.
If you do not share, your therapist does not have access to your transcript through Feelpath. Sharing is separate from saving, so it is possible to save for your own review and keep it private.
If you share, it can help your therapist review your words directly without relying on memory or paraphrase.
What each person can see
Inside Feelpath, each participant controls their own words.
Therapists can view a client’s words only when that client has chosen to share. If a client does not share, the therapist view shows the session structure, and the client’s lines appear as redacted.
If a participant does not save a transcript for this session, their words are not stored as transcript text. Their lines appear as redacted placeholders in stored transcripts.
Clients can view the therapist’s words in the session transcript. Clients do not view other clients’ words through Feelpath.
Updating consent
Consent is meant to be revisitable. In a therapy context, the goal is clarity, not persuasion.
Sharing can be updated later. Saving is chosen at session start. After a session, the available controls are redaction and deletion.
Redaction and deletion
Transcripts are drafts. In Feelpath, each person can redact or delete their own words from a session. If something is wrong or too sensitive to keep, the safest approach is to remove it.
Redaction permanently removes the selected text for the person who redacts it and for anyone they have shared it with. The transcript shows a redaction placeholder in its place.
Permanently remove selected text; shows "[redacted]" everywhere.
Change wording; exports and analysis use edited text.
Download a .txt copy to view offline.
Review who can see your words for this session.
Permanently remove your lines; insights are deleted.
Deleting your transcript for a session removes your stored transcript text and clears session Insights tied to your transcript. After deletion, your lines appear as [redacted] in the transcript view for that session.
ROI and disclosures
This is an educational overview. Requirements vary by setting and jurisdiction.
Release of Information is the clinical and legal frame for permission to disclose session information. In Feelpath, that permission is captured with two consent checkboxes before a session starts.
Feelpath’s consent checkboxes describe consent inside the platform. For the checkbox by checkbox meanings, see ROI and disclosures.
For a broader overview of how Feelpath handles privacy and data flow, see Privacy overview.
What Feelpath covers and what your practice still covers
Feelpath covers consent and disclosure inside the platform. It captures whether a participant’s transcript is saved for Insights, and whether a participant shares their transcript with their therapist in Feelpath.
Your practice still follows the requirements of your setting and jurisdiction. That includes how you document consent in your workflow and how you handle disclosures outside Feelpath, if they arise.
