Just signed up to Betterhelp to get a therapist

Interesting. I've tried to get therapy locally before but they never got back to me. I trust Anita, my therapist and I'm not bothered if a third party gets info on me tbh. it's no worse than posting your life on Facebook.

If it's working for you mate just get what you can out of it and then cancel your thing

I can't see you getting private therapy for less than you're paying with them

There's always gonna be people with poor reviews and opinions

I would prefer to get therapy through the NHS and my GP but all I get is occasional visits from the mental health team which doesn't help much.

Can't you refer yourself for NHS and just wait on the list

I'm not sure how to.

Have a look on the NHS website

Or type in NHS talking therapies and your area on Google and see what comes up

I referred myself but that was about 5 years ago but I can't see how it's changed that much

Just had a look and it's a ridiculously complicated form and at the bottom it says 'not suitable for people with alcohol/drug problems' so it's a non starter really imo.

Oh right it must be different now then

Just finished another session. Covered a lot including my chatline addiction, debt problems and falling out with my parents and friends.

How's the therapy going man

Pretty good thanks. Got another session tomorrow morning.

Oh brilliant
I'm glad it's working out for you man

Anyway, just had another session with my therapist and she's suggested I do future sessions by phone which I'm a bit nervous about. I've got a speech impediment and I'm a bit slow on the uptake verbally.

Glad you found someone to help you Rossall, If speech is an issue, perhaps Teams and teams chat can be an option?
whatever happen, I hope you get to walk a flourishing path.

kind regards,
Kada

Thanks kada

It's a massive step mate
