Parents and caretakers know at least one thing to be universally true: Time isn’t yours the way it used to be. Your calendar used to be filled to the brim with meetings, errands, dates with your partner and outings with your friends — now it’s the same, but somehow your kids’ lives have been added to the matrix. Every day, from 5 a.m. until 11 p.m. is a game of time Tetris. So when it comes to your mental health resources, specifically therapy, it’s no wonder carving out an hour for yourself and your self care feels impossible.
Which is why teletherapy services like BetterHelp exist — and why they’re a mental health game-changer for so many parents.
Totally online and accessible wherever you have WiFi connection, BetterHelp not only cuts out commute time, but it allows you to choose a therapist who can work with your schedule, making it a more convenient option for therapy. Once you sign up for BetterHelp, you’re matched with a therapist in as little as 48 hours based on your individual needs (plus the option to choose your own if you’re not meshing with the person BetterHelp initially pairs you with). From there, you can access your therapist through a messaging service, and video and phone calls. Additionally, the service offers journaling and group classes.
If you’re ready to give virtual therapy a try, get 25 percent off your first month of BetterHelp when you use the code “sheknows.” |
