Excellent post. Thank You for sharing this.

Because of the restrictions on how many therapists can serve veterans in an area, there are no options for me to seek out specialized care such as EMDR in person. I live in mount Pleasant and the closest one to me is 1.5 hrs away(north). We need less restrictions on who we can see and where do that we can heal from our traumas and wounds, internal and external. We just had to drive over an hour to Lansing(during a snow storm) for a root canal because no dentist around here was VA covered. I love having community care as options, but, I believe the restrictions are also hurting a lot of veterans in need.
