Teletherapy is a game-changer. One silver lining of the pandemic might be the emergence of online therapy. Teletherapy is, in fact, more common than ever! And thanks to the popularity of Teletherapy, I am now able to reach additional families in crisis, delivering help and hope to more families who are suffering.
With teletherapy, therapy has become assessable to everyone. Not just those living in the big city but to those isolated in remote locations, too! You can get the support you need without going anywhere at all. You don’t have to leave your house. You don’t have to get stuck in traffic. You don’t have to fight for a parking space. You can remain in the comfort of your own home while talking to an online therapist. All you need is a secure internet connection.
It takes time to trust your therapist. Trust must evolve. Whether you’re learning to trust a friend or an intimate partner, it doesn’t happen overnight. In the same way, trusting a mental health professional isn’t instantaneous. Trust is not an event-it is a process.
But when you’re talking to an online therapist in the privacy of a place where you feel safe, it makes a world of difference. On your turf. In your comfort zone. You’re talking to somebody where you feel like you can be totally yourself, and that’s something unique about online counselling.
A recent article in Newsweek magazine outlined studies which suggests that online therapy is as effective as in-person therapy with most common problems.
