As you can understand for me Talk Space Advisory Board . and that’s why i begun using it and i highly recommend that you request their financial assistance due to the fact that they do apply a respectable discount and for me when i applied i was paying about 108 dollars when i was a trainee versus 135 dollars when i wasn’t a trainee any longer however this was a professional since it was far more economical than in-person therapy for me even utilizing insurance coverage and i guess the con would be that better help does not accept medical insurance at least at the time of this recording so when you first register you go through a series of questions about demographics and other concerns like are you religious are you spiritual what are you attempting to get out of therapy things like that and after you respond to these concerns and you’re registered you’re matched with a therapist that type of accompanies the responses that you responded to the pro is that it’s really
simple to be matched with a counselor however the con is that the therapist can be a hit or miss after going through some research study and evaluates on my own i check out that a lot of people actually get quite lousy therapists that do not either listen to them or they’re not as responsive as they should be and with my own experience my first therapist was like that but likewise had a lot of issues like sympathizing with me and listening to me so if you ever face a circumstance like this you do not have to explain yourself you can simply strike switch counselor or whatever it is change therapist and select from their list of offered therapists when i was first beginning therapy a lot of people were informing me that you require a minimum of a month prior to you truly understand if the relationship is great before carrying on but i ‘d say the minute that you feel like something’s off that you’re not being listened to or heard you dip out like you leave right now okay possibly not like that minute i’m simply stating that you don’t require a whole month to see if somebody’s the best fit for you you need to trust yourself and know 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 likewise message your therapist in between sessions which is great due to the fact that they’re enabling simpler access to your therapist depending upon what your requirements are the con is that not all therapists provide all modes of communication and my first therapist really just used chat sessions and phone sessions and when i really emailed betterhelp to complain they said 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 wound up switching over to another counselor anyhow who did provide practically
Are BetterHelp therapists licensed? Talk Space Advisory Board
interaction the sessions had to do with 30 minutes and if i felt like there was a lot more to talk about i always asked my therapist if i might extend my time for an hour into book sessions you simply require to bring up the calendar and pick the days and times that work best for you and if there aren’t any days that work for you then you can coordinate that with your therapist i personally prefer the video sessions due to the fact that i seem like talking face to face is constantly incredibly valuable for me but honestly there are so many days where i just do not wish to talk to somebody so i was able to still schedule a live chat session instead of skipping out totally on treatment which i actually valued one of the cons in my viewpoint would be that if you have a sought-after therapist which held true with the 2nd therapist that i saw sessions were constantly simply scheduled out 2 to 3
weeks at a time and he was honestly the best therapist i have actually ever seen like face to face and through online treatment so i was willing 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 with no warning without messaging me to let me know that he was gon na be late so that simply disappointed me a bit so there’s a tab for journaling and the journal entries are all blank they actually have actually prompted entries now which you can also shuffle through if you wish to utilize those rather and you could select to share those journal entries with your therapist or simply leave them be and keep them private and for the group in ours i truly did like the subjects that they had them on i just disliked that they were constantly set up during the work day that i wasn’t able to go to and it’s a shame due to the fact that i seem like i would have gotten a lot more out of the better health experience if those groupon hours were set up at easier times so you men are most likely thinking like oh you were seeing the very best therapist you have actually ever seen why would you leave the app well this is a story for you okay so my therapist ended up leaving the platform without saying goodbye [Laughter] it was so bad like i was with him practically an entire year and a half and he simply dipped out and it was because of health reasons which i entirely comprehend however that resembles a separation y’ all like like i was spilling my heart and soul out to this guy and he just left um however then i was much like okay you know what i’ll simply provide 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 much like you know what this i’m done i’m done this is adding on more distress for me so i think i’m simply gon na let it go and possibly try another app which i probably will and evaluate that a person too in the future now i ‘d also like to say that i learnt about the privacy issues relating to better help after i stop the platform and actually fast
if you do not know what i’m discussing there’s controversy walking around that better help is mining your information and sharing it with other apps like facebook and snapchat for marketing purposes this is all included in their privacy policy and you might check out it using the link that i’m going to put in the screen right here in my opinion although the controversy is like super messed up i believe that if you’re aware of this going on and you kind of just don’t care and you require the help i believe that better help is an excellent alternative for you and i’m stating this due to the fact that i found the best therapist i’ve ever had on the app and i believe that having apps like betterhelp this is opening up an entire new world and providing more access to people who wouldn’t otherwise get help and go to treatment if i missed out on anything in this video or if you had a various experience for me proceed and comment down below due to the fact that i think that it will be truly useful for other people to find out about your experience and i ‘d be curious too like what did you go through did you go through the same things that i did if you found this video useful do not forget to give it a huge thumbs up down below and if you’re new here do not forget to hit the subscribe button to Talk Space Advisory Board…
