which will make the expense more affordable for you…Betterhelp Belgium… general and after that based on your answers to your questions in the formerly discussed 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 necessarily the case and i think that better help uses both types of psychological health experts so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you’re able to consult with them and you can set up a time to have your first official conference 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 great to understand that all 4 alternatives three really to me however they say it’s 4 are available and i know that’s absolutely helpful for some individuals who are possibly a little bit more worried about treatment or not interested in doing a video call because it makes them unpleasant when the day of your session comes you can either log into the web 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 counselor to join 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 begin having your your meeting throughout your very first session you’re probably going to have simply a be familiar with you type of session to figure out why are you interested in treatment what things do you wish to address what are your preferences as someone going to therapy what are your therapists choices and what’s their style of treatment all of those things will probably get hashed out in the very first meeting and after that with time you’ll get more comfortable with one another and you’ll have more of those like much deeper

sessions where you can speak about your problems and whatever it is that you wish to resolve and then 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 therapist in particular i believe this does vary by counselor but we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down but i have paid for all of my sessions beforehand to get that less expensive rate so let’s move on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think one of the biggest pros of better aid is that it is an online therapy service and that makes it extremely practical and very available for many people as long as you have a web connection you can choose a variety of various ways to meet with your therapist so you can do text message video calls or call they send you suggestions about your appointment so it’s quite hard to forget when you have a time set up they send you both e-mail reminders and text reminders and they send them to you a couple of days ahead and likewise a few hours ahead and a couple of minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill however uh definitely reliable and another cool thing about them having a digital platform is that they offer digital group sessions and webinar type of sessions that are offered to any person who utilizes betterhelp completely free of charge it’s at no additional expense to what you already spend for your weekly sessions with your counselor now that being said in my viewpoint the app and the platform is not excellent in fact it kind of draws particularly considering that better assistance in and of itself is a tool the product that they’re selling is this video platform that therapists can utilize to connect you to their network i mean i guess they’re selling the network however i think actually what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not a very good one it’s pretty cumbersome there are no choices for screen sharing Betterhelp Belgium

or talking or messaging throughout a session pictures are shared extremely strangely they’re shared as files and you can just send them individually so you can’t like drag and drop into a window or something you need to like browse choose the picture then put it in and after that the individual can’t see a preview of the photo they need to click into the file to see it it’s just very out-of-date small things like when you push enter in the chat window your messages don’t send it in fact develops a line break so

Talking Betterhelp Belgium…better help is one service as our other online companies I was discussing earlier that there are things that I personally think that online treatment is better for or offline therapy is better for and I’ve in fact I’ve really discussed this in other settings due to the fact that it is something I feel quite enthusiastic about and I have to say that my viewpoint has actually been popular by business like better help in terms of ideally how they how they work with individuals that present for care so I just wished to invest a couple of minutes talking about my own is my own personal viewpoint about the important things that are most proper for offline versus online treatment so in my view I see online therapy as a terrific location for people who are having problem with hard life shifts for circumstances where they’re experiencing more tension than normal for circumstances where you understand they have an extremely well-defined issue with anxiety or social anxiety and a treatment like cognitive behavioral therapy which is really structured can can benefit them which treatment due to the fact that it’s not as social as others is best for online therapy since it involves a great deal of homework it involves worksheets it includes learning particular abilities and strategies so mild milder conditions like mild stress and anxiety mild depression modification disorders even PTSD as long as like the person has gotten care initially elsewhere these are all things that can be dealt with through online therapy you understand think about someone who has a agoraphobia and maybe they connect to a counselor from their home because they can’t leave their home and just just to clarify agoraphobia is a condition where individuals are really frightened of being trapped and caught in a location where they may have an anxiety attack and so essentially they begin to limit their activities and limit their activities till a lot of them can’t leave their house without actually feeling significant distress so if someone like that is at home and they can connect through their computer system and connect to a therapist that’s a fantastic initial step is that going to cure them absolutely not due to the fact that agoraphobia to be successfully dealt with needs that person to be able to go outdoors and to resume regular activities and in some cases that involves a therapist going to their house to help them with that procedure certainly online counselors are going to be able to do that however could they be the bridge that got that individual who hesitates to leave their house from that preliminary supportive method to counseling where they can really have a better life 100% and this is what the space that better help aims to fill with their services my point to this to this specific video and bringing these things

up is that I I want to clearly interact that anything that I share with you is going to be fully from where I stand as a professional psychologist and more importantly what I think is as just a human being on this earth attempting to do the best that I can therefore I I will not tell you that something is appropriate that I don’t think is appropriate I won’t show you that online counseling is the cure-all for everything due to the fact that I do not believe that
