I really think that I need therapy and my family also think so and tells me this in regular intervals.
But there are two main blockers with getting therapy:
- Extreme long waiting list’s, estimated waiting times of 1-3 years
- I am so bad at doing stuff on time / arriving at appointment’s, that this will fail any therapy where I have to arrive physically
I am thinking about getting online therapy, on a platform like for example BetterHelp, but I always hear bad things about these platforms.
Do anyone here as experience with such platforms? Do they keep the conversations private or sell them?
Just find a therapist you can video call with, don’t waste your time on an app
You can find someone in less time than that generally.
It don’t have to be an app, I ask for online therapy in general
BetterHelp and their ilk have proven to be exploitative of both patient and therapist. Most therapists nowadays will consult over video calls and take direct payment. Find one you’re comfortable with and start. Avoid intermediary platforms.
