extremely truthful…Better Help Michael Phelps Commercial… evaluation of much better help i have actually been utilizing the service for a little over a year now and i believe i’ve 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 provide you my last ideas on whether or not i would suggest better help and whether i think it’s the right service for you for those of you that do not know betterhelp is an online counseling platform that connects people who are trying to find counseling or therapy with mental health experts it’s a quite simple procedure to begin so first you complete an online survey it asks you some questions that will better assist match you with a counselor or a therapist so after you complete what i would call a quite prolonged survey they ask you to produce an account and then you established your payment choices i’ll speak about this a little bit more later but there are scholarships that can reduce the rate and after that you can likewise change your choice on how often
you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most costly but you can also pay beforehand and that will make the expense cheaper for you general and after that based on your answers to your concerns in the formerly pointed out questionnaire 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 much better assistance uses both types of psychological health experts so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you have the ability to speak to them and you can establish a time to have your very first official conference so it can either be through a video call through a routine telephone call or through a chat or immediate message i always do video calls however it is good to understand that all 4 choices three truly to me but they state it’s 4 are available and i know that’s certainly good for some individuals who are perhaps a little bit more anxious about therapy or not thinking about doing a video call due to the fact that it makes them uncomfortable when the day of your session comes you can either log into the internet 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 counselor to join and they will connect 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 during your very first session you’re most likely going to have just a learn more about you kind of session to determine why are you interested in therapy what things do you wish to address what are your preferences as somebody participating in therapy what are your therapists choices and what’s their style of treatment all of those things will most likely get hashed out in the first conference and then 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 wish to attend to and after that as time goes on you’ll have sessions however you spent for it or however you set it up with your counselor so with my counselor 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 however i have spent for all of my sessions in advance to get that less expensive rate so let’s proceed to the pros and the cons of the platform i think one of the biggest pros of better aid is that it is an online therapy service which makes it really practical and very accessible for many people as long as you have a web connection you can pick a variety of different ways to meet with your counselor so you can do text message video calls or telephone call they send you suggestions about your visit so it’s quite tough to forget when you have a time set up they send you both email pointers and text pointers and they send them to you a couple of days ahead and likewise a few hours ahead and a couple of minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill however uh definitely efficient and another cool feature of them having a digital platform is that they offer digital group sessions and webinar type of sessions that are available to anybody who utilizes betterhelp entirely free of charge it’s at no extra expense to what you already spend for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being stated in my opinion the platform and the app is not excellent in fact it sort of draws especially thinking about that better help in and of itself is a tool the item that they’re offering is this video platform that therapists can use to connect you to their network i indicate i guess they’re selling the network however i believe really what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not an excellent one it’s pretty clunky there are no alternatives for screen sharing Better Help Michael Phelps Commercial
or messaging or talking during a session pictures are shared extremely strangely they’re shared as files and you can just send them separately so you can’t like drag and drop into a window or something you have to like browse select the image then put it in and after that the person can’t see a preview of the photo they need to click into the file to see it it’s simply extremely out-of-date small things like when you push enter in the chat window your messages don’t send it actually produces a line break so
