extremely sincere…Quit Better Help Renaming… review of better aid i have actually been using 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 stroll you through all of those and then give you my last ideas on whether or not i would suggest much better help and whether or not 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 people who are searching for therapy or treatment with mental health experts it’s a quite basic process to get started so first you complete 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 quite lengthy questionnaire they ask you to produce an account and then you set up your payment preferences i’ll discuss this a bit more later but there are scholarships that can lower the rate and then you can likewise alter your preference on how frequently
you want to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most pricey but you can also pay beforehand and that will make the expense less expensive for you overall and after that based on your answers to your questions 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 however that’s not always the case and i think that much better help uses both types of psychological health professionals so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your counselor you have the ability to talk to them and you can establish a time to have your very first main conference so it can either be through a video call through a routine phone call or through a chat or instant message i always do video calls however it is excellent to understand that all four choices 3 actually to me however they state it’s four are available and i understand that’s certainly great for some people who are perhaps a little bit more anxious about therapy or not interested in doing a video call since it makes them uneasy 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 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 start having your your conference throughout your first session you’re probably going to have just a learn more about you type of session to determine why are you thinking about therapy what things do you wish to address what are your preferences as somebody going to treatment what are your counselors preferences and what’s their design of treatment all of those things will probably get hashed out in the first meeting 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 want to address and after that as time goes on you’ll have sessions nevertheless you paid for it or however you set it up with your therapist so with my counselor in particular i believe this does differ by counselor 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 beforehand to get that less expensive rate so let’s move on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think one of the greatest pros of much better assistance is that it is an online therapy service and that makes it extremely convenient and very available for many people as long as you have a web connection you can select a variety of different methods to meet your counselor so you can do text message video calls or phone calls they send you tips about your visit so it’s pretty tough to forget when you have a time established they send you both email tips and text pointers and they send them to you a few days ahead and likewise a few hours ahead and a couple of 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 provide digital group sessions and webinar type of sessions that are readily available to any person who uses betterhelp totally free of charge it’s at no additional expense to what you already spend for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being stated in my opinion the app and the platform is not great in fact it sort of draws particularly considering that better assistance in and of itself is a tool the product that they’re selling is this video platform that therapists can utilize to connect you to their network i indicate 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 cumbersome there are no choices for screen sharing Quit Better Help Renaming
