brutally sincere…Www.Better Help Dreamjob… evaluation of better help i’ve been using the service for a little over a year now and i think i have actually used it enough time to know what are the advantages and disadvantages so i’m going to walk you through all of those and then offer you my last ideas on whether i would recommend better help and whether i think it’s the best service for you for those of you that do not know betterhelp is an online counseling platform that connects individuals who are searching for counseling or treatment with psychological health specialists it’s a pretty simple process to start so first you fill out an online questionnaire it asks you some questions that will better assist match you with a therapist or a counselor so after you submit what i would call a quite lengthy survey they ask you to create an account and after that you set up your payment choices i’ll discuss this a little bit more later but there are scholarships that can lower the cost and after that you can likewise alter your choice on how often
you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most expensive however you can likewise pay ahead of time which will make the cost more affordable for you overall and then based on your answers to your concerns in the formerly discussed questionnaire they will match you with a therapist i’m going to use the words therapist and counselor interchangeably throughout this video but that’s not always the case and i believe that much better aid provides both kinds of mental health experts so just keep that in mind once they match you with your counselor you’re able to speak to them and you can establish a time to have your first official meeting so it can either be through a video call through a regular call or through a chat or immediate message i constantly do video calls however it is good to understand that all 4 options 3 actually to me but they say it’s 4 are offered and i know that’s definitely great for some people who are maybe a little bit more nervous about therapy or not interested in doing a video call because it makes them uncomfortable when the day of your session comes you can either log into the web 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 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 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 address what are your choices as somebody attending treatment what are your therapists preferences and what’s their style of therapy all of those things will most likely get hashed out in the very first meeting 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 discuss your problems and whatever it is that you want to deal with and then as time goes on you’ll have sessions however you paid for it or nevertheless you set it up with your therapist so with my therapist in particular i believe this does differ 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 more affordable rate so let’s carry on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think one of the most significant pros of better assistance is that it is an online counseling service which makes it very available and extremely convenient for most people as long as you have an internet connection you can choose a range of various methods to meet your therapist so you can do text video calls or telephone call they send you tips about your appointment so it’s pretty challenging to forget when you have a time set up they send you both email reminders and text suggestions and they send them to you a couple of days ahead and also a couple of hours ahead and a few minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill however uh certainly reliable and another cool feature of them having a digital platform is that they offer digital group sessions and webinar type of sessions that are readily available to anybody who utilizes betterhelp totally totally free it’s at no additional expense to what you currently pay for your weekly sessions with your counselor now that being stated in my opinion the platform and the app is not great in fact it kind of sucks especially considering that better help 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 indicate i guess they’re selling the network however i believe really what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not a very good one it’s pretty clunky there are no options for screen sharing Www.Better Help Dreamjob
or talking or messaging during a session photos are shared extremely strangely they’re shared as files and you can just 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 preview of the photo they need to click into the file to see it it’s just really outdated small things like when you push enter in the chat window your messages don’t send it really produces a line break so
