Talking Mykie Betterhelp…better help is one option as our other online business I was discussing earlier that there are things that I personally think that online treatment is more appropriate for or offline treatment is better for and I’ve actually I’ve actually 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 been well-received by business like better help in terms of hopefully how they how they work with the people that provide for care so I just wanted to spend a number of minutes talking about my own is my own individual viewpoint about the important things that are most appropriate for offline versus online treatment so in my view I see online treatment as a wonderful place for individuals who are struggling with challenging life shifts for scenarios where they’re experiencing more stress than normal for scenarios where you know they have a very well-defined issue with anxiety or social stress and anxiety and a treatment like cognitive behavioral therapy which is really structured can can benefit them which therapy because it’s not as interpersonal as others is ideal for online therapy because it includes a great deal of homework it involves worksheets it includes finding out particular skills and techniques so moderate milder conditions like moderate stress and anxiety mild depression modification 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 therapy you know think about somebody who has a agoraphobia and maybe they connect to a counselor from their home because they can’t leave their house 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 an anxiety attack therefore basically they begin to limit their activities and limit their activities until a lot of them can’t leave their house without actually feeling significant distress so if somebody like that is at home and they can connect through their computer and connect to a counselor that’s a fantastic initial step is that going to treat them absolutely not because agoraphobia to be successfully treated requirements that individual to be able to go outside and to resume regular activities and often that involves a therapist going to their home to help them with that process certainly online counselors are going to have the ability to do that however could they be the bridge that got that individual who’s afraid to leave their house from that initial supportive technique to counseling where they can really have a better life 100% and this is what the space that better help intends to fill with their services my indicate this to this specific video and bringing these things
up is that I I wish to plainly communicate that anything that I share with you is going to be totally from where I stand as a professional psychologist and more significantly what I think is as just a human being on this earth trying to do the very best that I can and so I I will not inform you that something is appropriate that I do not believe is appropriate I won’t show you that online counseling is the cure-all for whatever because I do not believe that
