The Grandma Rule - Notes & Documentation - Maelissa Hall, Psy. D 

This is helpful in terms of helping to think about what insurance companies will think about....but it's frustrating, too, because things like building rapport, active listening, creating a safe space to explore feelings, helping a client put thoughts and feelings into words while they are attuned to by a professional, etc are the most powerful pieces of therapy. And, most people actually do not get that outside of therapy, which is probably why they are there in the first place! When these are things that people DO get from birth, consistently and often enough, they are usually quite well-adjusted, resilient human beings. Just my two cents. I still REALLY appreciate your videos. And have found many helpful tips and strategies. (I hate progress notes, like most people here!). Thank you.

Hi Melissa! It totally makes sense! Do you have any examples of what could potentially be included? Also does the “Grandma” rule also include documentation that may be sent to a insurance company?
