I am a big fan of BetterHelp. I have been using it for the past 10 months, and my life has measurably improved. I’ve gotten a job, I’m gone in and out of relationships, dealt with trauma, and many other challenges. Through it all, BetterHelp has been there.

I have recommended BetterHelp to many friends, and in my experience, how much someone benefits really depends on what they expect from the experience. BetterHelp is not a quick-fix. It is the opportunity to enter into a long, spread-out conversation with a therapist about your daily struggles and challenges as they happen and when you are in the moment. At least once a day, I face some challenge, and while I am still fresh with those emotions, I share my thoughts and feelings with my counselor. My counselor always responds within 24 hours in a way that helps me reestablish calm, take perspective, and better prepare myself for similar challenges going forward. It has been this process, every day, for 10 months, that has really turned my life around. If you expect your counselor to respond instantly or to make you feel “fixed” right away, this is not going to do that (but then again, nothing will do that for you). So understanding how this process works, committing to it or at least a few months, and then using it every day, that is the way to go, and that is the way to make your life better. Or at least that’s what this one humble user thinks and has experienced for himself.
