How UnitedHealth’s Playbook for Limiting Mental Health Coverage Puts Countless Americans’ Treatment at Risk

UnitedHealth used an algorithm system to identify patients who it determined were getting too much therapy and then limited coverage. It was deemed illegal in three states, but similar practices persist due to a patchwork of regulation.

Recently taught a Part 2 weekend of a Remote EMDR Training course with a great group of mental health professionals. A big thanks to Erin Evanson-Lass (Waypoints Counseling, PLLC) for joining me to help, and for sharing her years of experience with this group.

The clinicians felt the somatic energy of processing through and integrating trauma. Their confidence grew by trusting themselves that they have what it takes to help their clients with EMDR therapy. Through practice and patience, they are growing exponentially with their skills. Let their journey continue with the power of EMDR therapy! 💚

🗓 Remote Complex PTSD EMDR Protocol Course

- 12 CE Credit Hours Available

✅ Are you overwhelmed by the amount and complexity of your client’s traumas?

✅ Are your resourcing techniques failing in the Preparation phase of EMDR therapy?

✅ Are your clients unable to tolerate emotions and body sensations to meet EMDR readiness?

✅ Are your clients afraid of the Desensitization phase and are avoiding processing their traumas?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, it may be time to think about getting further training in working with Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) in the application of the 8 phases of EMDR therapy.

When working in the field of trauma, you will likely run into clients who have experienced Complex PTSD. Being able to navigate the complexity of working with C-PTSD takes somatic skills that are often not taught in the EMDR basic training. Many EMDR therapists end up avoiding or quitting using EMDR therapy with C-PTSD clients because it feels too hard to implement. Looking at the amount of trauma a client may have in their history, along with experiencing ongoing traumas, can overwhelm both the therapist and their clients. EMDR therapists can become afraid of harming their clients and start to feel inadequate that they don’t have the skills necessary to implement EMDR therapy successfully.

In this two-day course, participants will learn how to approach C-PTSD from a trauma-informed, client-centered, somatic approach so participants can begin to let go of their fears and overwhelm by finding creative and safe ways to help clients heal their traumas.
