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?

    Issue I have with better help. They require camera. At least mine did. I cannot talk to someone about issues if I can see them. I need voice only or just chat or theres no way I’m gonna talk about real issues.

      Therapists need visual on you to be able to read your body language and reactions so they can adjust their approach and be better able to help to you.

      But you could cover your screen so you don’t have to see them if that’s the main issue.

      Eventually I suggest working with your therapist towards being able to talk while perceiving another person, but the above is a good first step at least.
