Expensive rubbish that is not therapy!<p>Its disgraceful that a profession that entirely relies on confidentiality is allowed to process and sell client data to the highest bidder.<p>Medical information! Our most private histories that no one else on earth is privy to.<p>&quot;Things you would only ever tell your therapist&quot; because of the time taken to develop &quot;Trust&quot; and Confidentiality&quot;.<p>Online psychotherapy does not work. There is too much missing from the human to human interection.<p>How would you ever ask this question???<p>&quot;can you tell me what your big toe is saying right now&quot;?<p>YOU WOULD NEVER ASK THAT QUESTION BECAUSE YOU WOULD NEVER SEE THAT BIG TOE WIGGLING!<p>All you money grabbing therapists out there who use this system &quot;Shame on you&quot; for bringing my profession into disrepute.<p>Yes it is expensive to train as a psychotherapist, here in the UK it used to be about £100,000.<p>You will want to claw back some of that investment, but not to the detriment of your clients and profession.<p>I decided from the very beginning of my training that the people who needed therapy the most were the very people who could not afford therapy.<p>There is no such thing as Better Help.
