Lewis' Top 3 Reasons to Try Online Therapy
#1 Speaking to someone who is unbiased on your life is more helpful than talking to family/friends!
Every week, I talk with my online therapist. It's been so valuable to have someone who's professionally trained give me feedback and guidance to keep my mental health in order. I also like that this person doesn't really have a close tie or vested interest in me - so I can count on them to give me advice that's objective, not subjective or biased.
#2 Convenience, convenience, CONVENIENCE. Skip the commute and the waiting room. Therapy is much more simple when it's online.
There's no need to get stuck in LA traffic on the way to my therapists office. I can connect with my therapist from the comfort of my home any time I need it.
#3 Online therapy helps me take care of my whole self. The gym is for my body; therapy is for my mind.
I've always been a huge proponent of having coaches in the areas of my life that I find important. For my physical health, I hire trainers and instructors who walk me through workouts and track my performance over time. For my business, I check in with my circle of influence on a regular basis so I can continually learn from them. And in recent years, I've applied this same principle to my mental health by getting involved in online therapy - and it's been an absolute game-changer.
