going under another layer of this onion i’m gon na be sharing what i go through off-camera with my mental health and likewise the app that i use for therapy it’s online therapy it’s called talk area it’s not sponsored to be sincere it has actually altered my whole life {since|because|considering that|given thathat there’s live chat there’s phone sessions video sessions and you can also message your therapist in between sessions which is excellent due to the fact that they’re permitting easier access to your therapist depending on what your requirements are the con is that not all therapists use all modes of communication and my very first therapist in fact only offered chat sessions and phone sessions and when i in fact emailed betterhelp to complain they said hi we’re so sorry but it’s at the discretion of the therapist to have these modes of communication and due to personal factors i ended up switching over to another counselor anyway who did offer practically communication the sessions had to do with thirty minutes and if i seemed like there was a lot more to talk about i always asked my therapist if i could extend my time for an hour into book sessions you just need to pull up the calendar and pick the days and times that work best for you and if there aren’t any days that work for you then you can collaborate that with your therapist i personally choose the video sessions because i feel like talking face to face is constantly very valuable for me but truthfully there are numerous days where i simply do not wish to talk with somebody so i had the ability to still schedule a live chat session instead of skipping out totally on therapy which i actually appreciated among the cons in my viewpoint would be that if you have a sought-after therapist which was the case with the second therapist that i saw sessions were continuously just scheduled out two to three weeks at a time and he was truthfully the very best therapist i’ve ever seen like face to face and through online treatment so i wanted to wait that time for him this next con would be an individual experience of mine that my therapist when he did show up would sometimes show up like 10 or 15 minutes late without any caution without messaging me to let me know that he was gon na be late so that simply disappointed me a little bit so there’s a tab for journaling and the journal entries are all blank they actually have actually triggered entries now which you can also shuffle through if you wish to use those rather and you might choose to share those journal entries with your therapist or simply leave them
entering into a little bit of my therapy journey and i believed that i had it all figured out but boy was i incorrect um so let’s discuss it let’s get into it so to start off i began treatment at a really young age luckily that was something that my mommy did not like hide from me or shelter me from she understood that i was going through like some emotional things when i was more youthful and i had some problem um mentally managing and difficulties with anger and simply a lot of different things going on when i was younger so my mommy chose to put
you men and i’m sorry you people really told me about this it resembles an app called talkspace and this is not sponsored by talkspace however i am interested in it this whole morning i really was struggling and i struggled practically like every each and every single early morning specifically on the weekends like today’s saturday saturdays have actually constantly drawn they have actually always been truly difficult mental days for me i don’t know what’s next i’m just gon na try this out i may dislike it i don’t know i do not really wish to get a therapist i’ve constantly wanted to just handle my mental things without needing to get one because to me i just um i just do not wish to need to go through all of this and i don’t want to need to tell people all of my things and simply go through all of this i just don’t seem like doing all of this and i truly simply wished to manage this on my own i’m not 100 sure that i can after almost thirty years of attempting so we’re gon na enter into that today uh i do not know i’m just tired of dealing with this and like like i said.
