which will make the expense cheaper for you…Swot Of Betterhelp… total and then based on your answers to your questions in the previously discussed 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 always the case and i think that better help uses both kinds of mental health specialists so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you have the ability to consult with them and you can establish a time to have your 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 however it is great to know that all four options three really to me but they state it’s 4 are available and i understand that’s certainly great for some individuals who are perhaps a little bit more nervous about therapy or not interested in doing a video call since it makes them uneasy 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 await your therapist to join 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 during your very first session you’re most likely going to have simply a get to know you type of session to determine why are you thinking about therapy what things do you want to resolve what are your choices as somebody going to therapy what are your counselors choices and what’s their design of therapy all of those things will probably get hashed out in the first conference 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 speak about your issues and whatever it is that you want to deal with and then as time goes on you’ll have sessions nevertheless you spent for it or however you set it up with your therapist so with my counselor in particular i believe this does vary by therapist 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 more affordable rate so let’s carry on to the pros and the cons of the platform i believe among the biggest pros of much better aid is that it is an online therapy service and that makes it very accessible and extremely hassle-free for most people as long as you have an internet connection you can pick a variety of various ways to meet your counselor so you can do text video calls or call they send you suggestions about your appointment so it’s pretty hard to forget when you have a time set up they send you both e-mail reminders and text tips and they send them to you a couple of days ahead and also a couple of hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh definitely efficient and another cool feature of them having a digital platform is that they provide digital group sessions and webinar type of sessions that are readily available to anyone who utilizes betterhelp completely totally free it’s at no additional cost to what you already pay for your weekly sessions with your counselor now that being said in my viewpoint the app and the platform is not great in fact it type of sucks specifically considering that better aid in and of itself is a tool the product that they’re offering is this video platform that therapists can use to link you to their network i suggest i guess they’re selling the network however i think really what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not a great one it’s pretty cumbersome there are no alternatives for screen sharing Swot Of Betterhelp
or talking or messaging throughout a session pictures are shared very oddly they’re shared as files and you can just send them individually so you can’t like drag and drop into a window or something you have to like browse choose the image then put it in and after that the person can’t see a sneak peek of the photo they need to click into the file to see it it’s just very out-of-date small things like when you push enter in the chat window your messages don’t send it really creates a line break so
