which will make the cost cheaper for you…Betterhelp Advertisements… general and after that based on your answers to your concerns in the formerly mentioned survey they will match you with a therapist i’m going to use the words therapist and therapist interchangeably throughout this video however that’s not always the case and i believe that better aid offers both types of psychological health experts so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you’re able to speak with them and you can set up a time to have your very first main meeting so it can either be through a video call through a routine call or through a chat or immediate message i always do video calls but it is good to understand that all 4 alternatives three actually to me however they state it’s 4 are offered and i understand that’s certainly helpful for some individuals who are maybe a bit more anxious about treatment or not thinking about doing a video call because it makes them unpleasant when the day of your session comes you can either log into the browser or log in to the mobile app you can’t do both at the same time only one at a time and after that you wait for your therapist to sign up with and they will link you to the session when they do a little bell ring and then you’re ready to go and you can start having your your conference throughout your first session you’re most likely going to have just a be familiar with you kind of session to find out why are you thinking about treatment what things do you wish to resolve what are your preferences as somebody going to treatment what are your counselors choices and what’s their style of therapy all of those things will most likely get hashed out in the first meeting and after that with time you’ll get more comfy with one another and you’ll have more of those like much deeper
sessions where you can talk about your problems and whatever it is that you wish to resolve and after that as time goes on you’ll have sessions nevertheless you spent for it or nevertheless you set it up with your counselor so with my counselor in particular i think this does differ by counselor but we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down but i have spent for all of my sessions beforehand to get that cheaper rate so let’s carry on to the pros and the cons of the platform i believe one of the most significant pros of much better assistance is that it is an online therapy service which makes it very available and extremely convenient for the majority of people as long as you have an internet connection you can select a range of various ways to consult with your therapist so you can do text video calls or call they send you tips about your appointment so it’s pretty tough to forget when you have a time established they send you both email pointers and text suggestions and they send them to you a few days ahead and also a couple of hours ahead and a couple of minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh definitely effective and another cool thing about them having a digital platform is that they offer digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are readily available to anybody who uses betterhelp totally totally free it’s at no extra expense to what you already spend for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being stated in my viewpoint the app and the platform is not great in fact it type of draws particularly considering that better aid in and of itself is a tool the product that they’re selling is this video platform that therapists can use to link you to their network i suggest i guess they’re offering the network but i believe really what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not an excellent one it’s pretty clunky there are no options for screen sharing Betterhelp Advertisements
