Retired from the DFD (20 years) - I tell it like I see it. I'm too old to bite my tongue. I'm the nicest guy in the world, until I'm not. I've got love for most

When was the last time you went to a therapist?

[David Smith @OfficialSmithJM]

@Yes_IhaveME Would you care to elaborate?

@patriciaewelch Japan has the highest suicide rate in the world, so I am not sure what you're trying to say here...

The most effective and affordable way of starting therapy for beginners:

Everyone knows how beneficial going to a good therapist can be.

But, what is the most effective and affordable way of doing therapy?

Currently, there are two main options:

Traditional therapy and online therapy.

A) Traditional therapy: can work for some people, but it's often very expensive, outdated in terms of the latest research, and has medium to low client satisfaction.

The average therapist in the US has a success rate of only 35%, a dropout rate of 50% to 70 %, and typically charges between $80 and $180 for a one-hour session.

B) Online therapy: This more modern approach has recently become a much better option for most people.

A 2021 report from the International Journal of Public Health noted that 82% of individuals using online therapy reported it to be as effective or more effective than in-person therapy.

Here's why:

1- Affordable Prices: Prices range between $30 and $80 per session (versus $100 to $200 of traditional therapy).

2- More flexibility: You can choose between video calls, regular phone calls, or simply text messaging.

3- Choice of Therapists: It lets you choose between more than 200 different therapists based on your needs and preferences. You can see their credentials, their specialty (anxiety, depression, couples, family therapy, etc), the reviews they have from other customers, and much more.

4- Better qualified therapists: Most online therapists are up to date on the latest studies and new science-backed techniques to relieve anxiety, depression, trauma, and more.

5- Convenience: You don’t have to travel to meet your therapist, saving you time and energy.

6- Tests: Includes numerous psychological tests (backed by studies) to help you dig deeper into your conscious and unconscious mind and find trauma.

7- Higher customer satisfaction: Reviews of online therapists suggest much greater satisfaction.

8- Behavior change tools: Such as an integrated journal, an activity planner to incorporate new habits and thinking patterns into your life, and many more practical features.

This is why online therapy gained more than 30 million new users in 2023.

It is also why a 2021 report from the International Journal of Public Health noted that 83% of individuals using online therapy reported it to be as effective or more effective than in-person therapy.

If you are looking for a recommendation, I would recommend Online-Therapy, which is the company that has all the benefits I mentioned above (https://t.co/0kIw526q1r).

Another good option is Calmerry (https://t.co/qex9QsOplC), although I do not have any experience with them, so I am not sure if it has the same benefits as the first one.

Those are the two main online therapy companies out there, but there are many other options that you can choose from, so please choose whatever works best for you!
