brutally sincere…Adding A Profile Picture Better Help… review of much better assistance i’ve been using the service for a little over a year now and i believe i’ve utilized it enough time to know what are the advantages and disadvantages so i’m going to stroll you through all of those and after that offer you my last thoughts on whether i would advise better help and whether i believe it’s the ideal service for you for those of you that don’t know betterhelp is an online counseling platform that connects individuals who are searching for counseling or therapy with psychological health specialists it’s a pretty basic procedure to get started so first you fill out an online survey it asks you some questions that will better help match you with a therapist or a therapist so after you submit what i would call a quite lengthy survey they ask you to produce an account and after that you established your payment preferences i’ll discuss this a bit more later however there are scholarships that can reduce the price and after that you can likewise alter your preference on how often
you want to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most expensive however you can likewise pay in advance and that will make the cost more affordable for you overall and then based upon your answers to your questions in the formerly mentioned survey they will match you with a therapist i’m going to use the words therapist and counselor interchangeably throughout this video however that’s not necessarily the case and i think that much better help provides both types of psychological health specialists so just keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you’re able to consult with them and you can establish a time to have your very first main meeting so it can either be through a video call through a regular call or through a chat or instant message i always do video calls but it is good to know that all 4 choices three truly to me however they state it’s 4 are offered and i know that’s absolutely good for some individuals who are maybe a bit more nervous about treatment 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 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 on your therapist to join and they will link you to the session when they do a little bell ring and then you’re ready to go and you can begin having your your meeting throughout your first session you’re most likely going to have just a learn more about you type of session to figure out why are you thinking about therapy what things do you wish to address what are your preferences as somebody going to treatment what are your therapists choices and what’s their design of treatment all of those things will most likely get hashed out in the 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 address and after that as time goes on you’ll have sessions nevertheless you spent for it or nevertheless you set it up with your counselor so with my counselor in particular i believe this does differ 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 ahead of time to get that cheaper rate so let’s move on to the pros and the cons of the platform i believe one of the most significant pros of much better aid is that it is an online counseling service which makes it very convenient and very accessible for many people as long as you have an internet connection you can pick a variety of various ways to meet with your counselor so you can do text video calls or phone calls they send you reminders about your visit so it’s quite tough to forget when you have a time established they send you both email pointers 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 however uh definitely effective and another cool thing about them having a digital platform is that they provide digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are 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 therapist now that being said in my viewpoint the app and the platform is not excellent in fact it sort of draws 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 connect you to their network i mean i guess they’re selling the network however i believe really what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not a great one it’s pretty clunky there are no alternatives for screen sharing Adding A Profile Picture Better Help
