I have been putting off therapy for a while now. I went one time but I didn’t really feel comfortable with the doctor. I have a few friends who have tried online therapy, I think it is called Better Help. But I wanted more feedback to see if multiple people have had success and to see if someone a bit older will figure out the platform. Thank you

Hey @mvn481! How are you?

Thank you for starting this discussion§ I think it is a very interesting topic. Personally I have looked into BetterHelp a couple of years ago and thought it was too complicated, if you need help asap and feel in a crisis. Nevertheless, I like the idea of talking to a therapist from the comfort of your own home. I will tag some members to see what they think!

Hello everyone! How is your day going?

Do you go to therapy? How is it working for you? Have you tried online therapy on platforms like BetterHelp? What do you think about it?

👉Also, we have recently added the function to rate and comment on different medications. Feel free to rate medications, you have used before or see what others think of it!

Take care

Polina from the Carenity team

Hey. I've never done online therapy. Only in person. I try a treater for a while, see if we clash or connect. Some better than others. That's true with anything. Good luck.

Hello everyone !

I have tried online therapy before and it can be expensive and you have to find the RIGHT therapist// Better help isn`t bad // but they sent the police one time because the therapist misunderstood something I wrote// Embarassing!

I would recommend learning the SILVA METHOD /// Mind valley has a great platform and worth the money that you spend// It cost me $300 a few years ago and I can still access it whenever I need it. It helps with healing and stress.

I tried Sonder Minds because it was one I found would take my insurance. I had a few sessions and that is it as they would send me questions on how I was feeling 1 day before my session, the therapist would not discuss any of my responses, then as soon as the session was over they would send me the same questions to answer, like by some miracle I was going to be cured of my depression after 1 session.

I have also seen a therapist and psychiatrist online and really kind of prefer it as I don't have to worry about leaving the house and I can be more relaxed.
