they ask you to develop an account …Betterhelp Pewdiepie…and then you established your payment preferences i’ll speak about this a bit more later however there are scholarships that can decrease the rate and then you can also alter your choice on how frequently
you want to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most pricey but you can also pay beforehand which will make the expense less expensive for you general and after that based upon your answers to your questions 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 believe that better help provides both types of psychological health specialists so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you’re able to talk to them and you can set up a time to have your very first official meeting so it can either be through a video call through a regular telephone call or through a chat or immediate message i constantly do video calls but it is good to understand that all four choices three actually to me however they state it’s four are offered and i know that’s definitely great for some individuals who are maybe a little bit more nervous about therapy or not interested in doing a video call since it makes them unpleasant 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 on your therapist 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 begin having your your conference during your very first session you’re most likely going to have simply a get to know you type of session to figure out why are you interested in treatment what things do you wish to resolve what are your choices as somebody attending treatment what are your therapists preferences and what’s their design of treatment all of those things will most likely get hashed out in the first conference and after that with time you’ll get more comfortable with one another and you’ll have more of those like much deeper
sessions where you can speak about your problems and whatever it is that you want 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 counselor so with my therapist in particular i think this does differ by therapist but we do weekly sessions for one hour and i pay 35 dollars a week broken down however i have paid for all of my sessions ahead of time to get that less expensive rate so let’s proceed to the pros and the cons of the platform i believe among the greatest pros of better aid is that it is an online therapy service and that makes it really accessible and very practical for most people as long as you have a web connection you can pick a range of different methods to meet your counselor so you can do text video calls or telephone call they send you tips about your visit so it’s pretty challenging to forget when you have a time established they send you both email tips and text suggestions and they send them to you a couple of days ahead and likewise a few hours ahead and a couple of minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh definitely reliable and another cool thing about them having a digital platform is that they use digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are available to anybody who utilizes betterhelp entirely free of charge it’s at no additional cost to what you currently spend for your weekly sessions with your counselor now that being stated in my opinion the app and the platform is not excellent in fact it sort of draws specifically thinking about that better assistance in and of itself is a tool the product that they’re offering is this video platform that therapists can use to connect you to their network i mean i guess they’re offering the network however i believe truly what they’re selling is the tool and it’s not a great one it’s quite cumbersome there are no alternatives for screen sharing Betterhelp Pewdiepie
or chatting or messaging during a session images are shared really 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 have to like browse select the photo then put it in and then the person can’t see a sneak peek of the picture they have to click into the file to see it it’s simply extremely out-of-date small things like when you press enter in the chat window your messages don’t send it in fact produces a line break so
