I would have to agree with this. When using services like BetterHelp, it has always felt super transactional. Like a drive-thru experience, but therapy.

If you're going to be spending out of pocket for anything, at least try getting help through in-network therapists. There are so many fantastic mental health practitioners who are amazing that do not subscribe themselves to online platforms like BetterHelp.

What's better? By spending less out of your pocket, you can see them on a more frequent basis.

I don't understand this US vs THEM mentality. Yes, you were the nerd that might have been excluded from other people's world because they didn't deem you 'cool enough'.

But now you are excluding others from joining your world. Are you not as bad as the people who made you feel displaced?

Why not take the stance that you can be better?
