I’ve been using Betterhelp for a year and my therapist just quit the platform. There’s usually not a GREAT time for a therapist to quit, but this week is not it for me. IK that I could find a new one and it might be better, but frustrated about starting over building trust. I’ve read profiles of therapists to pick a new one, but I’m struggling. I’m venting here, but open to advice on finding a new therapist.

I’m sorry :( having a therapist that works for you is so so important! Have you tried to see if you can still see them outside of better help? Are they available for counseling on another platform? It may be worth the cost to keep your sanity. Sending positive vibes!

It's hard for your therapist to chat about that on the BH platform, for conflict of interest reasons. Maybe you could google her and find her outside of BH messaging.

I have been thinking about starting therapy but what it holding me back is how difficult it could be to find a therapist I like. I really just need to go for it though.

You’re not alone in this! People who had their mental health struggle managed or suppressed had them bubble back up during the pandemic and people who might not have had issues before developed them during the pandemic. I’m a very empathetic person and always want to help everyone else. I had to realize that I had to fight for my own needs, just like I would for a friend or teammate. If the first match doesn’t feel right for a therapist, keep looking! You deserve someone that’s the right fit for you and your needs.

Sometimes therapists are let go as well out of the blue.

Hey fellow fish. I’m wanting some reference to an eclectic editing style that incorporates a bunch of filmic styles into the narrative.

I just can’t for the life of me remember what it was for. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated!

How would you rate your ratios for work, play, and rest?

My life's mostly been 85% work/serious stuff (includes academia), 10% rest, and 5% play.

I've only started to learn to rest more this year and learning to accept lower productivity (was part of the hustle culture).

Q: How do I learn the concept of play? Didn't have that in my childhood growing up. All serious, no fun. Has anyone transitioned successfully?

I feel like a boring, old lady 😔😒

What is your definition of play?
