which will make the cost more affordable for you…Betterhelp Nourse… overall and then based upon your answers to your concerns in the formerly pointed out survey they will match you with a therapist i’m going to utilize the words therapist and counselor interchangeably throughout this video but that’s not necessarily the case and i think that much better help offers both types of psychological health professionals so just keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you’re able to talk with them and you can establish a time to have your very first official conference so it can either be through a video call through a routine phone call or through a chat or immediate message i constantly do video calls however it is great to know that all four alternatives three truly to me however they say it’s 4 are available and i know that’s definitely great for some individuals who are possibly a little bit more worried about therapy or not interested in doing a video call since 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 then you wait for your therapist 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 first session you’re probably going to have just a get to know you kind of session to find out why are you thinking about therapy what things do you want to resolve what are your choices as somebody participating in treatment what are your counselors preferences and what’s their design of therapy all of those things will probably get hashed out in the first meeting and then with time you’ll get more comfy with one another and you’ll have more of those like deeper
sessions where you can discuss your issues 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 therapist so with my counselor in particular i believe this does differ by counselor however we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down however i have actually paid for all of my sessions in advance to get that less expensive rate so let’s carry on to the pros and the cons of the platform i believe one of the biggest pros of better assistance is that it is an online therapy service and that makes it really available and really practical for many people as long as you have a web connection you can choose a range of various ways to meet with your therapist so you can do text message video calls or phone calls they send you suggestions about your consultation so it’s pretty challenging to forget when you have a time set up they send you both e-mail pointers and text tips and they send them to you a few days ahead and likewise a couple of hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh certainly efficient 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 completely totally free it’s at no extra expense to what you already pay for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being said in my viewpoint the app and the platform is not great in fact it sort of sucks particularly considering that much better aid in and of itself is a tool the item that they’re selling is this video platform that therapists can use to connect you to their network i imply i guess they’re offering the network but i believe really what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not a very good one it’s pretty clunky there are no options for screen sharing Betterhelp Nourse
or messaging or chatting throughout a session photos are shared very strangely 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 choose the picture then put it in and then the person can’t see a preview of the photo they need to click into the file to see it it’s simply very out-of-date small things like when you push enter in the chat window your messages don’t send it in fact produces a line break so
