Everybody Needs Somebody To Talk To. But In Case You Haven’t Caught On Not Everybody You Talk To Actually Listens or Cares.

Whenever there is anything that interferes with your happiness or prevents you from achieving your goals, it's important to talk about it. Even better if you can talk about it to someone who can actually give you sage advice.

Yesterday I was standing in line behind a man sharing his problems with a woman behind the cash register at the gas station. I couldn’t believe how much crazy personal stuff he was telling her. She gave him change but no advice. I honestly felt bad for the guy. He'd left before I paid or I probably would have gntly mentioned  BetterHelp.com the world largest therapy platform. 

I discovered BetterHelp while researching the top podcast advertisers. I was blown away they were #1 and I had never heard of them? So I researched the company more. They’re making professional therapy affordable, and convenient so anyone who struggles with life’s challenges can get help, anytime and anywhere. Online therapy was growing even before the world went haywire now it's really growing full speed.

I'm a huge proponent of talking about mental health. Thank goodness it's no longer a taboo subject. There's so much more knowledge now than there was before. I watched so many people suffer that didn’t have to Including myself along life's twisting paths and It bums me out a little that the world took this long to make mental wellness a priority. But we can only look forward, so I contacted BetterHelp to introduce myself. I told them I'd love to share their message and asked if they would sponsor my show and good work. And they did! Very cool. I'm proud to support them as well, because I know people need help and need to know where to find it.

Joining me today to help you better understand how BetterHelp Online therapy works is Haesue Jo, their Clinical Support Lead. She's also a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with years of experience providing individual and family therapy in community mental health, school settings, and day treatment facilities working at BetterHelp. Her current clinical focus includes working with individuals with a variety of presenting problems, including anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma, community violence, gender identity, and depression. 

One of the first questtions I asked Haesue was "Is Anybody Normal?" Tune into this 2 part podcast conversation where we discuss:  How "Being Normal Is Overrated" LOL;  how to get started with online therapy and get matched with the right therapist; and how BetterHelp is very affordable. 

'Very Affordable 'agrees Haesue Jo, is a key deciding factor for a lot of people when they're deciding what's worth they investment.
