extremely sincere…Better Help Ad Dave Anthony The Dollop… evaluation of much better help i have actually been utilizing the service for a little over a year now and i think i have actually utilized it enough time to understand what are the advantages and disadvantages so i’m going to walk you through all of those and then give you my last thoughts on whether i would recommend better assistance and whether i think it’s the ideal 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 counseling or treatment with psychological health experts it’s a pretty easy process to start so first you submit an online questionnaire it asks you some concerns that will much better help match you with a therapist or a therapist so after you complete what i would call a pretty lengthy survey they ask you to create an account and then you set up your payment choices i’ll discuss this a little bit more later however there are scholarships that can decrease the price and then you can also change your choice on how frequently
you want to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most expensive but you can likewise pay beforehand and that will make the cost less expensive for you overall and then based upon your answers to your concerns in the formerly mentioned survey they will match you with a therapist i’m going to utilize the words therapist and counselor interchangeably throughout this video but that’s not always the case and i believe that better assistance provides both kinds of psychological health specialists so just keep that in mind once they match you with your counselor you have the ability to speak to them and you can set up a time to have your very first official conference 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 but it is excellent to understand that all four choices three really to me but they state it’s four are available and i know that’s definitely great for some people who are maybe a little bit more worried about treatment or not thinking about doing a video call since it makes them unpleasant 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 for your therapist to sign up with 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 conference during your very first session you’re most likely going to have just a get to know you kind of session to find out why are you interested in treatment what things do you wish to address what are your choices as somebody participating in therapy what are your therapists choices and what’s their style of treatment 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 deeper
sessions where you can talk about your issues and whatever it is that you wish to address 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 therapist however we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down but i have actually paid for all of my sessions in advance to get that more affordable rate so let’s move on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think among the greatest pros of better aid is that it is an online therapy service which makes it really available and really hassle-free for most people as long as you have an internet connection you can pick a variety of various methods to meet with your therapist so you can do text video calls or telephone call they send you pointers about your appointment so it’s quite challenging to forget when you have a time established they send you both e-mail suggestions and text tips 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 definitely efficient and another cool thing about them having a digital platform is that they offer digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are readily available to anyone who uses 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 said in my opinion the app and the platform is not very good in fact it kind of draws especially thinking about that better assistance in and of itself is a tool the item that they’re selling is this video platform that therapists can use to connect you to their network i imply i guess they’re selling the network but i think 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 Better Help Ad Dave Anthony The Dollop
