completely sincere…Ui Inspiration Better Help Progress… review of much better aid i have actually been using the service for a little over a year now and i think i’ve utilized it long enough to understand what are the pros and cons so i’m going to stroll you through all of those and after that provide you my last ideas on whether or not i would recommend better help and whether or not i believe it’s the right service for you for those of you that do not understand betterhelp is an online counseling platform that connects people who are trying to find counseling or treatment with psychological health specialists it’s a quite simple process to get going so initially you fill out an online survey it asks you some questions that will better help match you with a therapist or a therapist so after you submit what i would call a quite lengthy survey they ask you to produce an account and then you established your payment choices i’ll discuss this a little bit more later but there are scholarships that can lower the rate and after that you can likewise change your preference on how frequently
you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most costly but you can also pay ahead of time which will make the expense less expensive for you overall and then based on your answers to your questions in the formerly pointed out survey 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 necessarily the case and i think that better assistance provides both types of psychological health experts so just 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 very first main conference so it can either be through a video call through a routine phone call or through a chat or immediate message i always do video calls but it is good to know that all 4 options three actually to me however they say it’s four are readily available and i understand that’s certainly good for some individuals who are perhaps a little bit more nervous about treatment or not thinking about doing a video call because it makes them uncomfortable 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 then you wait for your counselor to join 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 start having your your meeting throughout your first session you’re most likely going to have simply a learn more about you type of session to figure out why are you thinking about treatment what things do you wish to resolve what are your choices as somebody participating in therapy what are your counselors choices and what’s their design of treatment all of those things will probably get hashed out in the very first conference and after that with time you’ll get more comfy 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 address and then as time goes on you’ll have sessions nevertheless you paid for it or nevertheless you set it up with your therapist so with my therapist in particular i believe this does vary by therapist but we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down but i have paid for all of my sessions in advance to get that less expensive rate so let’s move on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think among the greatest pros of much better assistance is that it is an online counseling service which makes it extremely accessible and extremely practical for most people as long as you have an internet connection you can pick a variety of various methods to meet with your therapist so you can do text video calls or phone calls they send you tips about your appointment so it’s pretty tough to forget when you have a time set up they send you both email tips and text suggestions and they send them to you a few days ahead and also a couple of hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh certainly effective and another cool aspect of them having a digital platform is that they use digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are readily available to anyone who uses betterhelp completely for free it’s at no extra cost to what you already pay for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being said in my viewpoint the platform and the app is not excellent in fact it kind of draws particularly 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 utilize to connect you to their network i suggest i guess they’re offering the network however i believe truly what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not a very good one it’s quite cumbersome there are no options for screen sharing Ui Inspiration Better Help Progress
or messaging or talking during a session images are shared extremely strangely they’re shared as files and you can only send them separately so you can’t like drag and drop into a window or something you need to like browse select the image then put it in and after that the individual can’t see a sneak peek of the photo they have to click into the file to see it it’s just very out-of-date small things like when you press enter in the chat window your messages don’t send it really creates a line break so
