I’m a big believer in asking for help.
Through generations of trial and error, we’ve literally evolved to lean on one another.
We thrive in community and collaboration, particularly in times of stress.
And aren’t these stressful times?Nearly two-thirdsof American adults say their lives have been forever changed post-pandemic.
My emotional overwhelm has been a red alert: time to seek out some affordable online therapy.
Affordable online therapy for stress.
The only way to find out was to try it for myself.
How does online therapy work?
The first step to myBetterHelpmembership was matching with atherapistthrough a detailed questionnaire (quiz-lovers, rejoice).
To me this questionnaire felt like an intake: It covered the most basic information but more effectively.
(Relationship sigh, always and career stress.)
What kind of feelings was I having?
(Anxiety, uncertainty, merciless chocolate cravings.)
Once I finished the questionnaire, I felt lighter already.
I matched with my therapist and had my first appointment scheduled in under 48 hours.
In transparency, I was nervous.
Because I need toseesomeone to really feel connected, I opted for a video call.
But I was worried: Would it feel awkward?
Would I feel comfortable sharing intimate details about my life with a stranger on a screen?
My kind of therapist.
As they say, you’ll only get out of something what you put into it.
As I joined the video call, my nerves were popping off…
But my therapist quickly dismantled them.
Let’s just dive into the good stuff and work from there.
“My kind of therapist, I thought.
Honestly, I lovingly laughed at myself.
Months of enduring relationship and career stress when a little support was a few clicks away.
I have a therapist, but she feels more like anally.
