talk area is an app that permits you to do treatment …Dr. Damian Betterhelp…like online like on with an app it permits you to do treatment with it that makes good sense it is a online service that AHS you get therapy instead of needing to go in and speak with someone personally you can do it online with the benefit of your phone or your laptop computer but I personally utilize the app and I wished to provide you a little bit of my opinion about it due to the fact that I hear with no customers you know I’m not sponsored by anybody and I wish to give you my truthful opinion of it um and I think that it’s truly excellent to have actually more on sponsored viewpoints or like people who aren’t I have no factor to tell you anything about it if it’s not real so that’s what I’m gon na be doing today and I hope you enjoy this so let’s begin so I’m gon na keep holding up my phone as a prop so talk area generally is an app that you can download in the App Shop and after that you need to do a subscription service to it so you need to have it for a month I think or longer than that and what it permits you to do is it permits you to speak with a therapist without having to discover the therapist like in your location without needing to go and see what someone personally you can do it in your home and it enables you to text the therapist and after that you can have live sessions those live sessions include you talking generally like you would in a normal therapy session and the

texting is it’s simply that you can text them kind of whenever you have thoughts whenever you have concepts whenever you’re thinking of things you wish to you can discuss it with your therapist kind of instantly and then I think a good part about that is if you have a thought sort of mid week or whenever you know you aren’t going to be speaking with your therapist that day and even if you are if you just wish to remember what you’re believing you can text it to them and you can tell them what’s on your mind and I think it can be truly valuable for people with stress and anxiety or with depression with journalism of thoughts it kind of offers you a quick outlet for those things and maybe they do not develop in in your mind as much as they might if you have to wait you know a week to tell your therapist about something so I believe that’s actually cool I really like it for that I would state that’s a huge pro um I would say a con related to that same thing is that things simply take a lot longer to speak about if you select to text them about it so if I wish to state I’m feeling by doing this you know I believe it’s because of this or this they may say oh well do you consider this this this whatever however that’s gon na be a little bit longer um something to note is that the therapists check there the message location where you put the message like your their inbox I think I do not know what they call it they check that two times a day or a minimum of my therapist told me that she examines hardest two times a day so because regard you’re gon na.

get about two responses a day about like certainly if you’re probably having like a crisis and they have a moment they can probably assist you however it’s not like they’re just waiting around for you to message because generally they do a great deal of these people appear to have possibly not practices however they have an office that they work out of anyhow so um it’s not extremely instantaneous because regard like going over things it’s instant that you can tell them your issues and that you can get that off your chest however you may need to wait a little bit longer to discuss things and if you’re discussing things in therapy it’s gon na be you’re gon na say something and after that they’re gon na say oh it’s this how you resolve this they’re gon na type of discuss it like a typical discussion but with talk area you may state this and then it might be five hours later and after that they might say oh well this and after that it’s kind of it takes a lot longer to talk much like if you’re making strategies with your good friends you understand what I mean like you can call someone and you can say hi let’s do this isn’t this and let’s meet up here and you’re gon na be you know finished with your conversation at five minutes whereas it may take like a half an hour to text that back and forth so that’s just something great to consider you understand something that did trouble me a bit in the beginning yeah the one good idea to it seems to be a great bit cheaper than going in to talk with somebody it’s about $200 a month around there I might put the real cost like here someone it has to do with that rate a month to have the live sessions and the texting which includes for that bundle it is for half an hour live sessions per month so every week you’ll get a half an hour live session so I mean it is less time that you’re most likely talking truly because like I said it’s just half an hour and if you go to therapy you’re most likely going there for about an hour I would say so it’s less time for talking and but you get more support I would say so that’s type of good the app itself the user interface is extremely easy to use I like it I do not have truly any complaints about it other than perhaps like you can’t see if they read it but like I guess that doesn’t matter since like they’re gon na respond when they see it anyway so I don’t understand that was simply something I thought of however that’s.

 What is wrong with Talkspace?  Dr. Damian Betterhelp

not really important however total I do like the user interface and personally my experience with my counselor has actually been great up until now um I suggest it is I would state another con in my opinion would be that it might be hard opening to these people just because you’re not there personally and you’re not face to face rather as much as you would be with normal typical therapy so I think that it could be harder for individuals to open up to their therapists if you have trouble opening up to your therapist in the first place so that’s simply something to consider I did mean to have a little bit of problem opening so it’s been something that I have actually been thinking of but I’m unsure how much that in fact is simply me having an issue opening to people or the actual app so I’m sorry that the lighting got weird and I actually can’t make a video without whatever going wrong at the same time but back here so I simply wished to give some like final thoughts I think I do not want this to be too long of a video I kind of wished to give a short introduction and after that like if you desire me to go more in depth about it I sort of can like in an follow-up video or something like that essentially I think it’s a great service I believe it does what it states it’s supposed to do I think it’s a bit hard if you have some problems that are look I believe it’s truly helpful for like tension kind of things and I have not been having a lot of like that example like I have actually like been simply having a great deal of like believe you’re not small but like smaller sized things than like my general stress and anxiety and like what triggers me and whatever and like depressive ideas so um yeah I suggest I think I must’ve said that earlier however I do have anxiety like generalized stress and anxiety and after that I don’t I’m not like detected or anything with anxiety um but I do absolutely like depressive thoughts and like I actually like to say that I have depression but like that and I do likewise have seasonal depression which I haven’t utilized that for that long so I don’t know it’s summer season here so essentially I believe it’s really excellent if you you understand can’t make it to appointments if you have an actually busy task or something like that I believe likewise another truly excellent truly fantastic prospect to utilize talk area would be somebody who’s traveling a lot so or possibly you’re taking a trip overseas or if you just if you take a trip in general and you do not have like access to one therapists all the time I think that would be a great thing well I continue to use it yes I will even if I haven’t. Dr. Damian Betterhelp

personally found a therapist that I like around here and I also don’t like insurance is really spotty with this so it depends upon if you ‘d be guaranteed anyway but like I require to work out some insurance things before I even like think of this so I imply I think it’s a great service I have actually seen a great deal of other sponsored interviews or like I have actually seen a number of other sponsor interviews for talk area and after that there’s another one that a youtuber I really love I see all of her videos and she spoke about it however I do not remember what that a person was called I can place it here again and that resembles something similar so if you want to check out that a person to compare them the factor I wound up getting talk area was since my partner was kind of pressing me to do something to do therapy due to the fact that he knew that I was going through a great deal of stress so so he type of was the one who was saying hey you must truly speak to somebody and he understood about talk area and so that was the one that he truly suggested me to utilize that he for he’s heard a great deal of like good ideas about but again like it’s truly like discussed a lot through sponsorships which’s practically the only way I have actually ever heard of it I haven’t truly become aware of it unn sponsored and I’m probably gon na like fine on sponsored reviews as I go to publish this however yeah I think it’s I believe it’s an excellent service for what it is I believe it’s not for everyone though um and I believe like I was type of beginning to say before if you have much deeper concerns if you have bad stress and anxiety if you have bad anxiety I believe that it’s important to be seeing somebody face to face especially if it’s you know things that it’s simply it’s it’s harder to discuss more in-depth problems there’s something I’ve type of discovered like obviously these are deep.

issues due to the fact that they resemble things of your mind and they’re things that are like stressing you or things that are making depressed or anxious but I tend to find that it’s a bit better for simply more I’m actually distressed about starting a new task I am truly nervous about you know finishing going to school you know stuff like that that’s not actually like existential things um but like I stated if you are experiencing more simply you’re going through some stuff then I think it would be great um it also depends upon like how comfy you are like speaking with a phone like I know that that sounds unusual but like do you video chat with your buddies do you you know what I imply because if you do not then I seem like it’s gon na be truly unusual like you holding up a phone or like talking with your laptop due to the fact that it’s gon na be like this strange like synthetic thing however like if you’re utilized to that then it’s kind of like fine whatever like this is regular that’s something I observed I do talk on facetiming a bit so I seem like I’m sort of used to it however I felt like when I was doing it this would be unusual if I didn’t um so yeah like I said I would certainly advise it to anybody who travels like full-time because that would be incredible like then you might actually have therapy if that’s not something that is an option to you.
