The thing I always find interesting about BetterHelp sponsorships is that they never say that "BetterHelp helped me through that," it's always "Therapy helped me through that." Like yeah, good therapy will do that. But is BetterHelp good therapy?

[@ziltoidtheomniscient2398]

It can be. It's a side gig for therapists, obviously not a big money maker for them. They are affordable for the consumer without insurance, and that's a big plus. My therapist was experienced and also worked for a practice in the same state I lived, and she was very helpful. Honestly, I was extremely skeptical of BH before, but my experience speaks for itself, although I don't speak for others who have used the service

I don't know, I've seen at least one BH ad where a KZbinr claimed that it helped him in the past.

[@Scarshadow666]

@@ziltoidtheomniscient2398 That is a good point and gives a good reason why people still turn to Better help anyways (even if it has lawsuits and data-mining/distribution problems). The unfortunate reality for a lot of people is that therapy in general isn't often affordable, and there can be misconceptions of what makes good therapy. Oftentimes, even the therapies that are considered the best/medically proven doesn't always work with some people because everyone has different kinds of needs/struggles even if they have the same diagnosis. That's probably why people say finding a good therapist is kinda like dating (and unfortunately, not many people can afford to check out which therapist is right for them).

We didn't. But what I did realize in researching why companies like that are allowed to exist is that governments/organizations and other bodies the world over have no teeth to corporations. So they make them pay a piddly little fine, give them some specific new rules to follow that only apply to very esoteric situations in their adverts/products and corporations don't change, they get worse.

I agree wholeheartedly with this as someone who started BetterHelp around 2015-2016.
