Give Yourself Some Credit and Sleep Better

In Episode 44-Give the guy Some Credit, Phillip Crum and Kathleen Mills, LPC-S, CEAP, CIMHP interview Bryan Dillon, President of Impulse Payments by Deluxe, a credit card processing company based in the DFW Metroplex. Impulse is one of AMHP's premiere partners and is the card processor used by both AMHP and Kathleen's counseling group, Life Tree Counseling in Frisco, TX. This is a fun discussion about a topic most people would rather avoid but if you feel that you could stand a drastic customer service improvement, or a better processing rate, or both, then Impulse can probably help you. And they'll pay for a large portion, if not all, of your next year's AMHP renewal fee!

Meet Adam Becker of Empathic. Empathic is a Cadillac EHR system that any mental health counselor can afford. Are you open to improvement in your EHR experience? If you're tired of going with the cheapest option you can find only to discover the product's shortcomings after it's too late ("the allure of "lowest price" wears off long before the sting of a lousy product does",....something like that) then you need to meet Adam Becker of Empathic. The Empathic company was founded by a practicing counselor, the EHR system was designed and built by that same practicing counselor with you in mind, and the customer service alone is worth the reasonable price (which you can easily afford, btw). Have a listen. Adam will be presenting at our October Conference and Empathic will have a exhibitor table. too, so you could meet him in October,...but you kinda have to be at the Conference to do that.

In this week's episode Kip Rodgers and I are going to be discussing a topic that's been developing, and not for the better, for over 50 years now: childhood obesity. It's a problem and it's not going away. Compound the issue with an allopathic medical community that seems more willing to aid and abet the issue than tackle it head on and risk offending the payor's feelings and we have a two-headed dragon on our hands. And our kids will lose that fight every time. Have a listen then share your thoughts.

In Episode 42 Kathleen and Kip passionately discuss eating disorders, how the eating disorder industry is approaching the larger topic and the various treatment options being rolled out. If you don't have an opinion about the state of the eating disorder issue you will when you're done listening to this!

You get a two-fer in this episode. Before diving into the outcome of her discussion with the EAP CEO about the ill-advised email she received from an EAP employee run amuck, Kathleen and Kip take a detour and add some thoughts to their eating disorder dialogues.

In this week's episode Kip Rodgers and I talk with Dr Art Copes, a naturopath in Baton Rouge, Louisiana who specializes in the gut-digestion-brain connection. That's right, the brain is connected to your digestive tract and you need to know how and why. While we won't get into that too deeply in this podcast you do need to meet Dr Art Copes and begin your education in this realm of mental health.

In this week's episode The Sisters take a look at what another conference is promoting and back it up with numbers then talk a bit about a bad survey technique Kathleen has encountered. The Woke community is entitled and out of control.

The annual conference is right around the corner. You'll get 19 total ce hours but FORGET the CE's. You need to be here for the information. 2 days of fire-hose speakers, your food is included, even your Cultural Awareness requirement is covered. If you have any desire to grow your practice in a more holistic direction then this is the place to be. Don't miss it. Don't be, "that counselor!"
