and that will make the cost cheaper for you…Shane Twitter Didnt Know Defranco Sponsor Betterhelp… total and after that based upon your answers to your questions in the previously discussed survey they will match you with a therapist i’m going to utilize the words therapist and therapist interchangeably throughout this video however that’s not necessarily the case and i think that better aid provides both types of psychological health specialists so just keep that in mind once they match you with your counselor you have the ability to talk with them and you can establish 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 excellent to know that all four alternatives 3 really to me however they say it’s 4 are readily available and i understand that’s definitely great for some individuals who are perhaps a bit more nervous about therapy or not thinking about doing a video call since it makes them uncomfortable when the day of your session comes you can either log into the internet 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 await 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 conference throughout your very first session you’re most likely going to have just a get to know you type of session to find out why are you interested in treatment what things do you want to resolve what are your choices as someone participating in treatment what are your counselors choices and what’s their style of treatment all of those things will most likely 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 problems and whatever it is that you wish to resolve and after that as time goes on you’ll have sessions nevertheless you paid for it or however you set it up with your counselor so with my therapist in particular i think this does vary 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 ahead of time to get that cheaper rate so let’s carry on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think among the biggest pros of better aid is that it is an online counseling service and that makes it extremely hassle-free and very accessible for the majority of people as long as you have an internet connection you can choose a variety of various methods to meet your counselor so you can do text message video calls or call they send you reminders about your appointment so it’s quite hard to forget when you have a time set up they send you both email pointers and text reminders and they send them to you a couple of days ahead and likewise a few 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 provide digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are offered to anyone who uses betterhelp completely totally free it’s at no additional expense to what you currently spend for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being stated in my viewpoint the app and the platform is not excellent in fact it sort of sucks specifically considering that much better assistance 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 selling the network however i think actually what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not an excellent one it’s quite clunky there are no alternatives for screen sharing Shane Twitter Didnt Know Defranco Sponsor Betterhelp
