they ask you to develop an account …Media Relations Campaign To Promote Betterhelp…and after that you set up your payment preferences i’ll speak about this a bit more later but there are scholarships that can lower the rate and then you can also change your choice on how frequently
you wish to pay so if you pay weekly that’s the most costly however you can likewise pay ahead of time which will make the expense more affordable for you general and after that based on 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 therapist interchangeably throughout this video however that’s not necessarily the case and i believe that better assistance uses both kinds of mental health professionals so simply keep that in mind once they match you with your therapist you have the ability to talk with them and you can establish a time to have your very first main conference so it can either be through a video call through a routine call or through a chat or instant message i constantly do video calls however it is good to understand that all 4 choices 3 really to me but they say it’s four are available and i know that’s definitely good for some people who are perhaps a little bit more worried about treatment or not thinking about doing a video call since it makes them unpleasant when the day of your session comes you can either log into the internet 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 then you’re ready to go and you can start having your your meeting throughout your first session you’re most likely going to have simply a learn more about you type of session to figure out why are you thinking about therapy what things do you wish to resolve what are your choices as someone going to treatment what are your therapists preferences and what’s their style of treatment all of those things will probably get hashed out in the very first conference and after that with time you’ll get more comfortable with one another and you’ll have more of those like deeper
sessions where you can discuss your issues 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 however you set it up with your therapist so with my counselor in particular i think this does vary by counselor however 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 beforehand to get that less expensive rate so let’s carry on to the pros and the cons of the platform i think among the greatest pros of better help is that it is an online therapy service which makes it extremely available and very convenient for many people as long as you have an internet connection you can select a range of various methods to meet your therapist so you can do text message video calls or call they send you pointers about your visit so it’s quite challenging to forget when you have a time set up they send you both e-mail suggestions and text reminders and they send them to you a couple of days ahead and likewise a couple of hours ahead and a couple of minutes ahead so it’s a bit overkill but uh certainly effective and another cool feature of them having a digital platform is that they use digital group sessions and webinar kind of sessions that are offered to anybody who utilizes betterhelp entirely free of charge it’s at no additional expense to what you currently 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 sort of draws specifically thinking about that better assistance in and of itself is a tool the item that they’re selling is this video platform that therapists can use to connect you to their network i imply i guess they’re selling the network however i believe truly what they’re offering is the tool and it’s not an excellent one it’s quite cumbersome there are no choices for screen sharing Media Relations Campaign To Promote Betterhelp
