extremely sincere…Lifewithroozle Better Help… evaluation of much better help i’ve been utilizing the service for a little over a year now and i believe i’ve used it long enough to know what are the cons and pros so i’m going to stroll you through all of those and then offer you my last ideas on whether i would advise much better help and whether i think it’s the ideal service for you for those of you that do not know betterhelp is an online therapy platform that connects individuals who are searching for counseling or treatment with psychological health professionals it’s a pretty easy process to begin so first you fill out an online questionnaire it asks you some concerns that will much better assist match you with a therapist or a therapist so after you submit what i would call a pretty lengthy survey they ask you to develop an account and then you set up your payment preferences i’ll speak about this a bit more later however there are scholarships that can reduce the rate and after that you can likewise alter your choice on how frequently
you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most costly however you can likewise pay beforehand and that will make the cost less expensive for you general and after that based on your answers to your concerns in the previously discussed survey 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 believe that much better aid uses both types of psychological health specialists so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you have the ability to talk to them and you can establish a time to have your first official conference so it can either be through a video call through a regular call or through a chat or instant message i constantly do video calls but it is excellent to know that all 4 options three actually to me but they state it’s four are readily available and i know that’s definitely good for some individuals who are maybe a bit more worried about therapy 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 after that you await your therapist 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 conference during your first session you’re probably going to have simply a get to know you type of session to find out why are you interested in treatment what things do you wish to resolve what are your choices as somebody going to therapy what are your counselors preferences and what’s their design of therapy all of those things will probably get hashed out in the first conference 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 talk about your problems and whatever it is that you want to address and after that as time goes on you’ll have sessions nevertheless you paid for it or nevertheless you set it up with your counselor so with my counselor in particular i believe this does vary by therapist however we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down but i have actually spent for all of my sessions ahead of time to get that cheaper rate so let’s carry on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think among the biggest pros of much better aid is that it is an online therapy service and that makes it really hassle-free and extremely available for many people as long as you have an internet connection you can choose a range of various ways to consult with your counselor so you can do text video calls or call they send you reminders about your visit so it’s quite hard 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 couple of hours ahead and a couple of minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill however uh certainly reliable and another cool thing about them having a digital platform is that they use digital group sessions and webinar type of sessions that are offered to anybody who uses betterhelp totally free of charge it’s at no extra cost to what you already pay for your weekly sessions with your counselor now that being said in my viewpoint the app and the platform is not excellent in fact it kind of draws especially considering 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 link you to their network i suggest i guess they’re selling the network but i believe really what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not an excellent one it’s quite cumbersome there are no alternatives for screen sharing Lifewithroozle Better Help
