completely sincere…Betterhelp Unsuscribe… evaluation of better help i have actually been using the service for a little over a year now and i think i have actually used it long enough to know what are the advantages and disadvantages so i’m going to stroll you through all of those and after that provide you my final thoughts on whether i would advise better aid and whether or not i believe it’s the right service for you for those of you that don’t understand betterhelp is an online therapy platform that links individuals who are trying to find therapy or therapy with mental health specialists it’s a quite simple procedure to get started so initially you fill out an online questionnaire it asks you some questions that will better assist match you with a therapist or a counselor so after you complete what i would call a quite lengthy questionnaire they ask you to produce an account and after that you set up your payment choices i’ll speak about this a bit more later but there are scholarships that can decrease the cost and then you can also alter your choice on how often
you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most expensive however you can also pay in advance which will make the cost cheaper for you overall and after that based on your answers to your questions in the previously mentioned questionnaire 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 necessarily the case and i think that much better assistance offers both types of mental health experts so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your counselor you have the ability to consult with them and you can establish a time to have your very first official meeting so it can either be through a video call through a routine call or through a chat or immediate message i constantly do video calls however it is great to know that all 4 alternatives 3 really to me however they say it’s four are readily available and i know that’s absolutely helpful for some people who are maybe a bit more anxious about therapy or not interested in doing a video call since it makes them uncomfortable when the day of your session comes you can either log into the 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 on your counselor to join and they will link you to the session when they do a little bell ring and after that you’re ready to go and you can begin having your your conference during your first session you’re probably going to have simply a get to know you type of session to figure out why are you thinking about therapy what things do you want to resolve what are your preferences as somebody participating in treatment what are your therapists choices and what’s their style of therapy all of those things will probably get hashed out in the very first conference and after that with time you’ll get more comfortable with one another and you’ll have more of those like much deeper
sessions where you can discuss your problems and whatever it is that you want to resolve 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 therapist in particular i think this does differ by counselor but 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 ahead of time to get that less expensive rate so let’s carry on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think among the most significant pros of much better help is that it is an online counseling service which makes it really hassle-free and really available for the majority of people as long as you have an internet connection you can select a variety of various methods to consult with your therapist so you can do text video calls or call they send you tips about your consultation so it’s pretty tough to forget when you have a time set up they send you both email reminders and text reminders and they send them to you a couple of days ahead and also a couple of hours ahead and a couple of minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh certainly reliable and another cool thing about them having a digital platform is that they provide digital group sessions and webinar type of sessions that are available to any person who utilizes betterhelp completely totally free it’s at no additional cost to what you currently pay for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being stated in my opinion the app and the platform is not great in fact it type of draws specifically considering that better assistance in and of itself is a tool the item that they’re offering is this video platform that therapists can utilize to link you to their network i imply i guess they’re offering the network however i think truly what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not a great one it’s quite clunky there are no choices for screen sharing Betterhelp Unsuscribe
