extremely sincere…Michael Phelps Better Help Commercial… review of much better assistance i’ve been using the service for a little over a year now and i think i’ve utilized it enough time to understand what are the pros and cons so i’m going to walk you through all of those and after that give you my final ideas on whether or not i would suggest much better aid and whether i think it’s the right service for you for those of you that do not understand betterhelp is an online counseling platform that links people who are looking for therapy or treatment with mental health professionals it’s a pretty easy procedure to begin so first you fill out an online questionnaire it asks you some questions that will much better help match you with a therapist or a counselor so after you complete what i would call a quite prolonged questionnaire they ask you to create an account and after that you established your payment choices i’ll talk about this a bit more later but there are scholarships that can lower the rate and then you can likewise change your preference on how often
you want to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most costly however you can likewise pay ahead of time which will make the cost cheaper for you overall and after that based upon your answers to your questions 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 always the case and i believe that much better aid provides both kinds of psychological health experts so simply 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 first main 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 however it is good to understand that all 4 alternatives 3 actually to me but they state it’s 4 are offered and i understand that’s certainly good for some people who are maybe a bit more nervous about treatment or not interested in doing a video call because it makes them unpleasant 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 then you wait on 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 meeting throughout your very first session you’re most likely going to have just a be familiar with you kind of session to find out why are you interested in treatment what things do you want to address what are your choices as someone 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 very first conference and then with time you’ll get more comfy 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 want to resolve 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 counselor in particular i think this does vary by counselor 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 less expensive rate so let’s proceed to the pros and the cons of the platform i think one of the greatest pros of much better aid is that it is an online counseling service which makes it very convenient and very available for most people as long as you have a web connection you can select a variety of various ways to consult with your therapist so you can do text video calls or call they send you reminders about your consultation so it’s pretty tough to forget when you have a time set up they send you both email suggestions and text reminders and they send them to you a few days ahead and likewise a few hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill however uh certainly efficient and another cool feature of them having a digital platform is that they provide digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are offered to anybody who utilizes betterhelp totally free of charge it’s at no extra cost to what you currently spend for your weekly sessions with your counselor now that being stated in my viewpoint the app and the platform is not great in fact it sort of draws specifically thinking about that much better assistance 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 mean i guess they’re offering the network but i think truly what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not a very good one it’s pretty cumbersome there are no options for screen sharing Michael Phelps Better Help Commercial
