final thoughts on whether or not i would recommend better…Better Help Monsters Inside Us Video… aid and whether i believe it’s the best service for you for those of you that don’t know betterhelp is an online counseling platform that links people who are trying to find counseling or therapy with mental health experts it’s a quite simple process to get started so first you complete an online questionnaire it asks you some concerns that will better assist match you with a therapist or a counselor so after you complete what i would call a pretty lengthy survey they ask you to create an account and then you established your payment choices i’ll discuss this a bit more later but there are scholarships that can reduce the cost and then you can likewise alter your choice on how frequently
you want to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most costly however you can likewise pay in advance and that will make the expense cheaper for you total and after that based on your answers to your concerns in the previously discussed questionnaire they will match you with a therapist i’m going to use the words therapist and therapist interchangeably throughout this video but that’s not necessarily the case and i think that better help uses both types of mental health professionals so just keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you’re able to speak with them and you can set up a time to have your very first main 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 however it is excellent to know that all 4 choices 3 really to me however they state it’s 4 are readily available and i understand that’s absolutely great for some people who are possibly a little bit more nervous about treatment or not interested in doing a video call because 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 then you wait for your counselor to sign up with 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 meeting during your first session you’re most likely going to have simply a be familiar with you type of session to determine why are you interested in therapy what things do you wish to resolve what are your preferences as somebody attending therapy what are your counselors preferences and what’s their design of therapy all of those things will most likely get hashed out in the very first meeting and then with time you’ll get more comfy with one another and you’ll have more of those like much deeper
sessions where you can speak about your problems and whatever it is that you wish to address and then as time goes on you’ll have sessions however 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 therapist but we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down but i have spent for all of my sessions ahead of time to get that cheaper rate so let’s move on to the pros and the cons of the platform i believe among the most significant pros of much better aid is that it is an online therapy service which makes it extremely convenient and really accessible for most people as long as you have a web connection you can select a range of different ways 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 hard to forget when you have a time set up they send you both email suggestions and text pointers and they send them to you a few days ahead and also a few hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh certainly reliable and another cool aspect of them having a digital platform is that they offer digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are readily available to any person who uses betterhelp completely totally free it’s at no extra expense to what you currently spend for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being stated in my viewpoint the platform and the app is not excellent in fact it kind of draws especially thinking about that much better help in and of itself is a tool the product that they’re selling is this video platform that therapists can use to connect you to their network i indicate i guess they’re offering the network however i believe truly what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not an excellent one it’s quite cumbersome there are no alternatives for screen sharing Better Help Monsters Inside Us Video
