I really think that I need therapy and my family also think so and tells me this in regular intervals.
But there are two main blockers with getting therapy:
- Extreme long waiting list’s, estimated waiting times of 1-3 years
- I am so bad at doing stuff on time / arriving at appointment’s, that this will fail any therapy where I have to arrive physically
I am thinking about getting online therapy, on a platform like for example BetterHelp, but I always hear bad things about these platforms.
Do anyone here as experience with such platforms? Do they keep the conversations private or sell them?
Amy therapy is OK if it helps you, IMHO. I think it depends more on if the therapist has experience with ADHD and you’re able to form a trust relationship. If you don’t need physical proximity for that, then it can work.
That said, the type of providers who are hired for those platforms are generally not as good due to low budgets. And most large corporations tend not to treat providers as well as small practices. But sometimes you might find someone just starting out who is actually really good or something like that.
