I signed up for an online therapy/counselling paid service (320$/month) and today was my first session.. live sessions are once per week where you can choose text/voice/video chat for an in real time convo in addition to messages correspondence for whenever you wanna add a note for your counsellor to later see. The live session was supposed to be a 30-45 mins session.
im telling you now about my experience lol
So I was assigned to a random one who was talking like a robot and didn't say much while we were trying to schedule a live session he was mostly replying with one word and sounded hella annoyed lol so I had to change him to someone else I picked myself.. we did a video session where I just turned my camera off and Told him I'd be more comfortable doing a voice only.. he was just listening to me not even looking at the camera just looking at the side at his computer typing whatever notes he was typing about what I was saying lol in my ears was the sound of his typing on the keyboard which was hella annoying and distracting like why couldn't he just write it down!! It was so disappointing!! he barely asked me questions and was looking to the side like he was checking the time or something which made me think oh shii maybe my time was over so I asked him if our time was over yet? And he said well yeaaaaah over by 10 min but np and I was like uhm no it's fine will pick up on it next time and guys he couldn't wait to just end the call with a fake smile. Only for me to realize the call was actually 36 minutes and we still had more lol considering that it says calls are up to 45 mins so yeah I felt like shit and like I was annoying and even the people I pay for didn't wanna deal with me lmao he didn't even send me any comforting message after the call and it was like we just did nothing haha so awkward and dumb experience!! I don't know if I should quit this shii or try to find someone else.
What about you guys? Have you tried online counselling and how was your experience?
