they ask you to produce an account …Betterhelp Hypersexuality…and then you set up your payment choices i’ll speak about this a bit more later but there are scholarships that can reduce the price and then you can likewise alter your choice on how frequently
you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most pricey however you can likewise pay in advance and that will make the expense less expensive for you general and then based upon your answers to your concerns in the previously pointed out 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 necessarily the case and i think that much better help uses both kinds of mental health specialists so just keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you’re able to speak to them and you can set up a time to have your very first main meeting so it can either be through a video call through a regular phone call or through a chat or immediate message i constantly do video calls but it is excellent to know that all 4 options three truly to me however they say it’s 4 are readily available and i know that’s absolutely great for some people who are possibly a bit more anxious about treatment or not thinking about doing a video call due to the fact that 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 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 most likely going to have simply a get to know you type of session to determine why are you thinking about treatment what things do you wish to address what are your preferences as somebody participating in therapy what are your counselors preferences and what’s their design of treatment all of those things will most likely get hashed out in the very first meeting 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 issues and whatever it is that you wish to attend to and after that as time goes on you’ll have sessions however you paid for it or nevertheless you set it up with your counselor so with my counselor in particular i believe this does vary by counselor 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 move on to the pros and the cons of the platform i believe one of the most significant pros of better aid is that it is an online counseling service which makes it extremely practical and extremely accessible for most people as long as you have a web connection you can pick a variety of various ways to meet with your counselor so you can do text video calls or call they send you reminders about your appointment so it’s pretty challenging to forget when you have a time established they send you both e-mail suggestions and text reminders 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 however uh definitely efficient and another cool thing about them having a digital platform is that they use digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are offered to anyone who uses betterhelp entirely free of charge it’s at no extra expense to what you already pay for your weekly sessions with your therapist now that being stated in my viewpoint the app and the platform is not very good in fact it kind of draws especially considering that much better help in and of itself is a tool the item that they’re selling is this video platform that therapists can use to link you to their network i indicate i guess they’re selling the network however i think actually what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not a great one it’s quite clunky there are no alternatives for screen sharing Betterhelp Hypersexuality
