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 sincere it has actually changed my entire 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 terrific since they’re allowing for much easier access to your therapist depending on what your needs are the con is that not all therapists provide all modes of interaction and my very first therapist actually only provided chat sessions and phone sessions and when i really emailed betterhelp to grumble they said hello we’re so sorry but it’s at the discretion of the therapist to have these modes of interaction and due to personal factors i wound up changing over to another counselor anyway who did offer practically interaction the sessions were about 30 minutes and if i felt like there was a lot more to speak about i always asked my therapist if i might extend my time for an hour into book sessions you just need to bring up the calendar and choose 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 prefer the video sessions since i seem like talking face to face is always incredibly valuable for me however honestly there are numerous days where i just do not want to talk with somebody so i had the ability to still reserve a live chat session instead of skipping out entirely on treatment which i really appreciated one of the cons in my opinion would be that if you have a sought-after therapist which held true with the second therapist that i saw sessions were constantly simply booked 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 therapy so i was willing to wait that time for him this next con would be an individual experience of mine that my therapist when he did appear would in some cases appear like 10 or 15 minutes late without any warning without messaging me to let me understand 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 actually have actually prompted entries now which you can likewise shuffle through if you want to use those rather and you might pick to share those journal entries with your therapist or simply leave them
entering into a bit of my therapy journey and i believed that i had everything found out however young boy was i incorrect um so let’s speak about it let’s get into it so to begin i began treatment at a truly young age luckily that was something that my mommy did not like conceal from me or shelter me from she understood that i was going through like some psychological things when i was more youthful and i had some problem um emotionally controling and difficulties with anger and simply a lot of various things going on when i was more youthful so my mom chose to put
you men and i’m sorry you men actually informed me about this it’s like an app called talkspace and this is not sponsored by talkspace however i am interested in it this entire morning i truly was having a hard time and i struggled basically like every each and every single morning particularly on the weekends like today’s saturday saturdays have actually always drawn they have actually always been truly difficult mental days for me i do not know what’s next i’m just gon na attempt this out i may hate it i don’t understand i do not really want to get a therapist i’ve constantly wished to simply handle my mental stuff without needing to get one because to me i simply um i simply don’t want to need to go through all of this and i do not want to need to inform people all of my things and just go through all of this i simply do not seem like doing all of this and i truly simply wanted to manage this on my own i’m not 100 sure that i can after nearly 30 years of trying so we’re gon na get into that today uh i don’t know i’m simply tired of handling this and like like i said.
