and that will make the expense less expensive for you…Betterhelp Cancelling… general and then based on your answers to your concerns in the formerly pointed out 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 believe that much better aid uses both kinds of mental health professionals so just 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 very first main meeting so it can either be through a video call through a regular telephone call or through a chat or instant message i constantly do video calls but it is great to know that all 4 options 3 really to me however they say it’s four are available and i understand that’s definitely helpful for some people who are maybe a bit more anxious about treatment or not interested in doing a video call since it makes them uncomfortable 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 then you wait for your therapist to sign up with and they will connect you to the session when they do a little bell ring and after that you’re ready to go and you can start having your your meeting throughout your first session you’re probably going to have simply a be familiar with you kind of session to figure out why are you thinking about therapy what things do you wish to resolve what are your choices as somebody participating in therapy what are your therapists choices and what’s their design of treatment all of those things will probably get hashed out in the first conference 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 issues and whatever it is that you wish to attend to and then as time goes on you’ll have sessions however you paid for it or nevertheless you set it up with your therapist so with my counselor in particular i believe this does differ by therapist but we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down however i have actually spent for all of my sessions in advance to get that more affordable rate so let’s proceed to the pros and the cons of the platform i think one of the greatest pros of better help is that it is an online therapy service which makes it really available and very convenient for many people as long as you have an internet connection you can select a variety of different methods to meet with your therapist so you can do text video calls or call they send you suggestions about your appointment so it’s pretty difficult to forget when you have a time set up they send you both email suggestions and text tips and they send them to you a couple of days ahead and likewise a couple of hours ahead and a couple of minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill however uh definitely reliable and another cool aspect of them having a digital platform is that they offer digital group sessions and webinar type of sessions that are available to anyone who utilizes betterhelp entirely free of charge it’s at no additional cost to what you currently pay for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being stated in my viewpoint the platform and the app is not very good in fact it kind of draws specifically thinking about that much better help in and of itself is a tool the product that they’re selling is this video platform that therapists can utilize to link you to their network i imply i guess they’re offering the network but i think really what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not a very good one it’s quite clunky there are no options for screen sharing Betterhelp Cancelling

or talking or messaging during a session photos are shared very strangely they’re shared as files and you can only send them separately so you can’t like drag and drop into a window or something you have to like browse choose the picture then put it in and then the person can’t see a preview of the picture they need to click into the file to see it it’s simply extremely out-of-date small things like when you press enter in the chat window your messages don’t send it in fact develops a line break so

Talking Betterhelp Cancelling…better help is one service as our other online business I was pointing out previously that there are things that I personally believe that online therapy is better suited for or offline treatment is more appropriate for and I’ve in fact I’ve really spoken about this in other settings since it is something I feel quite enthusiastic about and I have to say that my opinion has been well-received by business like better help in terms of ideally how they how they deal with individuals that provide for care so I simply wished to invest a couple of minutes discussing my own is my own personal opinion about the things that are most suitable for online versus offline treatment so in my view I see online therapy as a wonderful location for individuals who are battling with tough life transitions for situations where they’re experiencing more stress than normal for situations where you understand they have a really clear-cut problem with anxiety or social stress and anxiety and a treatment like cognitive behavior modification which is very structured can can benefit them and that treatment due to the fact that it’s not as social as others is ideal for online therapy since it includes a great deal of research it involves worksheets it involves finding out particular abilities and techniques so moderate milder disorders like moderate anxiety mild depression adjustment conditions even PTSD as long as like the individual has received care initially in other places these are all things that can be resolved through online counseling you know think about someone who has a agoraphobia and possibly they reach out to a counselor from their house because they can’t leave their house and just simply to clarify agoraphobia is a condition where people are really terrified of being trapped and caught in a place where they may have a panic attack therefore essentially they start to restrict their activities and restrict their activities till a number of them can’t leave their house without really feeling substantial distress so if somebody like that is at home and they can reach out through their computer and link to a therapist that’s an excellent first step is that going to treat them absolutely not because agoraphobia to be effectively dealt with needs that person to be able to go outside and to resume regular activities and sometimes that involves a therapist going to their home to help them with that procedure undoubtedly online therapists are going to be able to do that however might they be the bridge that got that individual who’s afraid to leave their house from that initial encouraging method to counseling where they can actually have a better life 100% and this is what the gap that better help aims to fill with their services my point to this to this particular video and bringing these things

up is that I I want to plainly communicate that anything that I share with you is going to be completely from where I stand as an expert psychologist and more significantly what I think is as simply a human being on this earth attempting to do the very best that I can therefore I I will not tell you that something is appropriate that I do not believe is appropriate I will not show you that online counseling is the cure-all for whatever since I don’t believe that
