extremely sincere…Michael Phelps Better Help Promo… review of much better help i’ve been utilizing the service for a little over a year now and i believe i have actually utilized it long enough to understand what are the cons and pros so i’m going to walk you through all of those and then give you my final thoughts on whether i would advise much better help and whether or not i think it’s the ideal service for you for those of you that don’t know betterhelp is an online therapy platform that connects individuals who are looking for therapy or treatment with psychological health specialists it’s a quite basic procedure to start so first you complete an online survey it asks you some concerns that will better help match you with a therapist or a therapist so after you complete what i would call a quite lengthy survey they ask you to create an account and then you set up your payment preferences i’ll discuss this a bit more later however there are scholarships that can decrease the rate and after that you can likewise change your preference on how frequently
you want to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most costly but you can likewise pay in advance which will make the cost more affordable for you total and then based upon your answers to your concerns in the formerly discussed survey they will match you with a therapist i’m going to utilize the words therapist and therapist interchangeably throughout this video however that’s not necessarily the case and i think that much better assistance uses both types of mental health specialists so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your counselor you’re able to speak with them and you can establish a time to have your first main meeting so it can either be through a video call through a routine phone call or through a chat or immediate message i constantly do video calls however it is good to understand that all 4 alternatives 3 actually to me but they say it’s four are readily available and i understand that’s certainly helpful for some individuals who are maybe a little bit more worried about therapy or not interested in doing a video call due to the fact that it makes them uneasy 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 wait for your counselor 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 meeting during your very first session you’re probably going to have just a get to know you type of session to figure out why are you interested in therapy what things do you want to resolve what are your choices as someone going to treatment what are your therapists choices and what’s their design of treatment all of those things will probably 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 speak about your problems and whatever it is that you want to attend to 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 believe this does differ by counselor however we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down however i have paid for all of my sessions ahead of time to get that more affordable rate so let’s proceed to the pros and the cons of the platform i believe among the greatest pros of much better aid is that it is an online therapy service which makes it really accessible and extremely convenient for most 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 message video calls or phone calls they send you suggestions about your appointment so it’s pretty difficult to forget when you have a time set up they send you both email reminders and text pointers and they send them to you a couple of days ahead and also a few hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill however uh definitely reliable and another cool thing about them having a digital platform is that they offer digital group sessions and webinar type of sessions that are offered to anybody who uses betterhelp completely for free it’s at no additional expense to what you currently 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 type 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 imply i guess they’re offering the network however i think truly what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not a very good one it’s quite cumbersome there are no choices for screen sharing Michael Phelps Better Help Promo
or chatting or messaging during a session pictures are shared extremely oddly they’re shared as files and you can just send them individually so you can’t like drag and drop into a window or something you need to like browse select the photo 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 really out-of-date small things like when you press enter in the chat window your messages do not send it in fact produces a line break so
