It is difficult to see the difference between counsel from BetterHelp and a bot. During the 7-day free period, I shared detailed accounts of my life and what I'm struggling with. Feedback amounted to simple paraphrasing and acknowledgment that I was indeed struggling. After the hundreds of words I typed, responses (over 5 days) were exceedingly minimal and unhelpful. When I asked for more specific advice my counselor finally admitted she didn't know how to help me and suggested I find a new therapist.
If you need help moving on after being emotionally abused don't go to BetterHelp.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
