Some people may be reluctant to engage in teletherapy for a variety of reasons. Here are four great reasons to engage with your clinician through teletherapy today:
1.Convenience
o First and foremost, teletherapy is extraordinarily convenient. Gone are the days of remembering your appointment last minute, flying out of the house, and fighting traffic to make it to your appointment on time. With telehealth, you simply log onto Zoom, type in your therapist's Zoom secure code, and you're connected with your therapist in under a minute. All this from the comfort of your own home!
2.Cost
o Currently, all insurance providers are waiving co-pays and deductibles so your appointments don't cost you anything. Also, you save on time and gas by not having to come into the office for your appointment.
3.Clarity
oBecause you're usually conducting the therapy sessions from the comfort of your own home, this may help your therapist get a better understanding and perspective of your world. It can help your therapist better understand you in the context of your home environment (if you want). Although the level of desired privacy is completely up to the client, showing is sometimes better than just telling.
4.Practice Environment
o Sometimes, practicing things within the environment for which they are intended can increase the likelihood of success. For example, have you ever practiced shooting hoops at a particular basketball hoop, and then when you move to a different hoop you found that your shot is a little off? Practicing techniques, skills, and strategies in the environment in which you intend to use them can increase the likelihood of their success. Think of it as a home-field advantage!
