I tried Better Help as a shot without any real hope. I tired looking for therapist myself, online and through my insurance. With BetterHelp answering their questions and being able to look through various therapist options and their background, experience and just getting a read and feel for them Helped me pick Camille, my now therapist. I’ve tried a few therapist and never felt hopeful. It’s been just under a month and I am Feeling hopeful and optimistic. She has really helped me understand where my emotions, feelings and reactions stem from. She has opened my eyes to see things from different perspectives. She has tied things to things I learned growing up or that I was taught and have learned to operate that way. Some behaviors are not ok and I can change but I have to understand where it comes from, why I react that way and how to start applying actions that can help me start shifting my mindset and behavior. Camille has giving me things to read, assignments to work on, and things to write down to go over weekly to make them muscle memory. For example, my triggers, I read them a few times a week. So when I see something that would trigger a reaction I recognize it and immediately, remove myself to practice a coping skill To not get caught up in the same vicious cycle, and that can be for multiple reasons like anger, frustration, anxiety etc you name it. Oh and if for whatever reason you don’t like your therapist it’s easy to switch them, you click change therapists and you get a new list. It’s very convenient and worth trying it. I am happy I did, thank you Camille! (My therapist)
