which will make the expense more affordable for you…Betterhelp French Speaking… overall and after that based upon 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 counselor interchangeably throughout this video however that’s not always the case and i believe that better help offers both types of mental health professionals so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your counselor you have the ability to talk to them and you can establish a time to have your first official conference 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 alternatives 3 actually to me however they state it’s four are readily available and i understand that’s absolutely helpful for some individuals who are perhaps a bit more nervous about therapy or not thinking about doing a video call due to the fact that 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 after that you wait on your therapist to join and they will connect 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 conference throughout your very first session you’re probably going to have just a learn more about you type of session to determine why are you interested in treatment what things do you want to address what are your choices as somebody participating in therapy what are your counselors choices and what’s their style of therapy all of those things will probably get hashed out in the very first conference and then with time you’ll get more comfortable 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 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 counselor in particular i think this does vary by counselor but we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down however i have spent for all of my sessions beforehand to get that less expensive rate so let’s proceed to the pros and the cons of the platform i think one of the biggest pros of much better assistance is that it is an online counseling service which makes it very accessible and really convenient for the majority of people as long as you have an internet connection you can choose a variety of various methods to consult with your counselor so you can do text video calls or call they send you suggestions about your visit so it’s quite tough to forget when you have a time set up they send you both email reminders and text pointers and they send them to you a few days ahead and also a few hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh certainly efficient and another cool feature of them having a digital platform is that they offer digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are available to anyone who utilizes betterhelp entirely totally free it’s at no additional cost to what you already spend for your weekly sessions with your counselor now that being said in my opinion the platform and the app is not very good in fact it kind of draws particularly thinking about that better aid 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 indicate i guess they’re selling the network but i believe actually what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not an excellent one it’s quite clunky there are no options for screen sharing Betterhelp French Speaking

or chatting or messaging throughout a session pictures are shared really oddly they’re shared as files and you can only send them individually so you can’t like drag and drop into a window or something you have to like browse select the image then put it in and then the individual can’t see a preview of the photo they have to click into the file to see it it’s just really out-of-date small things like when you push enter in the chat window your messages do not send it in fact produces a line break so

Talking Betterhelp French Speaking…better help is one option as our other online business I was pointing out earlier that there are things that I personally believe that online treatment is more appropriate for or offline therapy is better suited for and I’ve actually I’ve actually discussed this in other settings because it is something I feel quite enthusiastic about and I have to state that my opinion has actually been popular by companies like better help in terms of ideally how they how they work with the people that provide for care so I just wanted to invest a number of minutes speaking about my own is my own individual viewpoint about the important things that are most suitable for online versus offline treatment so in my view I see online treatment as a wonderful place for individuals who are fighting with tough life transitions for situations where they’re experiencing more tension than regular for situations where you understand they have an extremely clear-cut issue with anxiety or social stress and anxiety and a treatment like cognitive behavior modification which is really structured can can benefit them which therapy since it’s not as interpersonal as others is perfect for online therapy due to the fact that it includes a lot of research it involves worksheets it involves learning particular skills and techniques so mild milder conditions like moderate stress and anxiety mild depression change disorders even PTSD as long as like the individual has gotten care initially elsewhere these are all things that can be addressed through online counseling you know think about someone who has a agoraphobia and perhaps they connect to a counselor from their house due to the fact that they can’t leave their home and simply just to clarify agoraphobia is a condition where people are truly frightened of being trapped and caught in a location where they might have a panic attack and so essentially they start to restrict their activities and restrict their activities until many of them can’t leave their house without actually feeling considerable distress so if somebody like that is at house and they can reach out through their computer and connect to a therapist that’s an excellent initial step is that going to cure them never since agoraphobia to be successfully dealt with needs that individual to be able to go outdoors and to resume normal activities and often that involves a therapist going to their home to help them with that process undoubtedly online therapists are going to be able to do that but could they be the bridge that got that person who hesitates to leave their house from that preliminary encouraging method to therapy where they can actually 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 particular video and bringing these things

up is that I I want to clearly communicate that anything that I show you is going to be completely from where I stand as an expert psychologist and more importantly what I think is as just a human being on this earth attempting to do the very best that I can therefore I I won’t inform you that something is appropriate that I don’t believe is appropriate I will not show you that online counseling is the cure-all for whatever due to the fact that I do not think that
