going under another layer of this onion i’m gon na be sharing what i go through off-camera with my mental health and also the app that i usage for treatment it’s online therapy it’s called talk space it’s not sponsored to be truthful it has actually changed my whole life {since|because|considering that|given thathat there’s live chat there’s phone sessions video sessions and you can likewise message your therapist in between sessions which is great because they’re enabling easier access to your therapist depending on what your requirements are the con is that not all therapists provide all modes of communication and my first therapist really only provided chat sessions and phone sessions and when i actually emailed betterhelp to complain they stated hey we’re so sorry but it’s at the discretion of the therapist to have these modes of interaction and due to personal reasons i wound up switching over to another counselor anyway who did provide nearly communication the sessions had to do with 30 minutes and if i felt like there was a lot more to speak about i constantly asked my therapist if i could extend my time for an hour into book sessions you simply need to bring up the calendar and select the days and times that work best for you and if there aren’t any days that work for you then you can coordinate that with your therapist i personally choose the video sessions since i seem like talking face to face is constantly super useful for me but honestly there are a lot of days where i just do not want to speak to someone so i was able to still book a live chat session instead of skipping out totally on therapy which i actually appreciated one of the cons in my viewpoint would be that if you have an in-demand therapist which held true with the 2nd therapist that i saw sessions were continuously just scheduled out 2 to 3 weeks at a time and he was honestly the best therapist i’ve ever seen like face to face and through online treatment so i was willing to wait that time for him this next con would be a personal experience of mine that my therapist when he did appear would sometimes show up like 10 or 15 minutes late without any warning without messaging me to let me know that he was gon na be late so that simply annoyed me a bit so there’s a tab for journaling and the journal entries are all blank they in fact have actually triggered entries now which you can likewise shuffle through if you wish to utilize those rather and you could choose to share those journal entries with your therapist or just leave them
going into a bit of my therapy journey and i thought that i had it all found out however kid was i incorrect um so let’s talk about it let’s enter it so to start i began therapy at a really young age fortunately that was something that my mother did not like hide from me or shelter me from she understood that i was going through like some psychological things when i was younger and i had some problem um mentally regulating and troubles with anger and just a bunch of various things going on when i was more youthful so my mom decided to put
you guys and i’m sorry you people really informed me about this it resembles an app called talkspace and this is not sponsored by talkspace but i have an interest in it this entire early morning i really was struggling and i had a hard time basically like every every morning particularly on the weekends like today’s saturday saturdays have actually constantly drawn they’ve always been really difficult mental days for me i do not understand what’s next i’m just gon na attempt this out i might hate it i don’t understand i don’t really wish to get a therapist i’ve constantly wanted to just deal with my mental things without having to get one since to me i simply um i just don’t wish to have to go through all of this and i do not wish to have to tell people all of my things and just go through all of this i simply do not seem like doing all of this and i really simply wished to handle this on my own i’m not 100 sure that i can after almost 30 years of trying so we’re gon na get into that today uh i don’t know i’m just tired of dealing with this and like like i said.
