As you can understand for me Betterhelp/Deborah Hayes . which’s why i started using it and i strongly advise that you get their financial assistance because they do use a pretty good discount and for me when i used i was paying about 108 dollars when i was a student versus 135 dollars when i wasn’t a student any longer however this was a pro since it was much more budget friendly than in-person therapy for me even using insurance and i guess the con would be that better help does not accept health insurance a minimum of at the time of this recording so when you first register you go through a series of concerns about demographics and other questions like are you spiritual are you spiritual what are you trying to leave treatment things like that and after you address these concerns and you’re signed up you’re matched with a counselor that sort of supports the answers that you addressed the pro is that it’s truly
simple to be matched with a counselor but the con is that the counselor can be a hit or miss after going through some research and reviews on my own i read that a great deal of individuals actually get pretty lousy therapists that don’t either listen to them or they’re not as responsive as they must be and with my own experience my first therapist was like that but likewise had a great deal of problems like sympathizing with me and listening to me so if you ever face a circumstance like this you do not need to discuss yourself you can just strike switch counselor or whatever it is modification counselor and choose from their list of offered therapists when i was first starting treatment a lot of people were telling me that you need at least a month prior to you truly know if the relationship is good prior to proceeding however i ‘d state the minute that you seem like something’s off that you’re not being listened to or heard you dip out like you leave right now all right possibly not like that minute i’m just stating that you don’t need an entire month to see if somebody’s the best suitable for you you have to trust yourself and understand that if you feel like something is off trust your gut betterhelp promotes that there’s live chat there’s phone sessions video sessions and you can also message your therapist in between sessions which is terrific due to the fact that they’re permitting simpler access to your therapist depending on what your needs are the con is that not all therapists provide all modes of interaction and my first therapist in fact only offered chat sessions and phone sessions and when i in fact emailed betterhelp to complain they stated hey we’re so sorry however it’s at the discretion of the therapist to have these modes of interaction and due to personal reasons i ended up switching over to another counselor anyway who did use almost

interaction the sessions were about thirty minutes and if i felt like there was a lot more to speak about i always asked my therapist if i might extend my time for an hour into book sessions you just need to pull up the calendar and choose the days and times that work best for you and if there aren’t any days that work for you then you can collaborate that with your therapist i personally prefer the video sessions because i seem like talking face to face is constantly incredibly practical for me but truthfully there are many days where i simply do not wish to speak with someone so i was able to still book a live chat session instead of skipping out completely on therapy which i truly valued among the cons in my viewpoint would be that if you have an in-demand therapist which held true with the second therapist that i saw sessions were continuously just reserved out two to three
weeks at a time and he was truthfully the very best therapist i have actually ever seen like personally and through online therapy so i wanted to wait that time for him this next con would be a personal experience of mine that my therapist when he did show up would often appear like 10 or 15 minutes late without any caution without messaging me to let me understand that he was gon na be late so that simply annoyed me a little bit so there’s a tab for journaling and the journal entries are all blank they actually have triggered entries now which you can likewise shuffle through if you wish to utilize those instead and you might pick to share those journal entries with your therapist or just leave them be and keep them private and for the group in ours i truly simulated the topics that they had them on i just disliked that they were always set up throughout the work day that i wasn’t able to go to and it’s a shame since i feel like i would have gotten a lot more out of the better health experience if those groupon hours were arranged at more convenient times so you people are most likely believing like oh you were seeing the best therapist you’ve ever seen why would you leave the app well this is a story for you all right so my therapist ended up leaving the platform without biding farewell [Laughter] it was so bad like i was with him nearly an entire year and a half and he just dipped out and it was because of health reasons which i entirely understand but that’s like a break up y’ all like like i was spilling my body and soul out to this person and he just left um but then i was much like fine you know what i’ll simply give another therapist an opportunity so i matched with another therapist and she no showed on me a couple times and at that point i was just like you know what this i’m done i’m done this is adding on more distress for me so i believe i’m simply gon na let it go and possibly attempt another app which i probably will and evaluate that a person too in the future now i ‘d also like to state that i found out about the personal privacy concerns concerning better help after i give up the platform and truly fast
if you don’t understand what i’m discussing there’s debate going around that better help is mining your data and sharing it with other apps like facebook and snapchat for marketing functions this is all consisted of in their personal privacy policy and you could check out it utilizing the link that i’m going to put in the screen right here in my opinion although the controversy resembles extremely ruined i believe that if you understand this going on and you type of just don’t care and you need the help i believe that better help is an excellent choice for you and i’m saying this since i found the best therapist i have actually ever had on the app and i believe that having apps like betterhelp this is opening up an entire new world and offering more access to people who would not otherwise get help and go to treatment if i missed out on anything in this video or if you had a different experience for me go on and comment down below due to the fact that i believe that it will be really handy for other individuals to hear about your experience and i ‘d wonder too like what did you go through did you go through the very same things that i did if you discovered this video valuable don’t forget to give it a huge thumbs up down below and if you’re new here don’t forget to hit the subscribe button to Betterhelp/Deborah Hayes…
