Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that some people get after experiencing a threatening and painful event like an accident, sexual abuse, war, bad experience in health care etc.

If you have experienced a traumatic event in your life and are faced with flashbacks of this trauma, memory loss, feeling much more anxious and vigilant compared to before or avoiding things that remind you of the trauma, then you might be suffering from PTSD. Note that these symptoms often appear within a few weeks but it can also take years.

Our therapy for PTSD is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the guidance of your therapist and CBT for PTSD, you will work through the traumatic memories, maybe even visiting situations and/or places that remind you of your trauma. While this might sound painful, it has been proven in numerous research studies to be an effective way to overcome PTSD. This is done under controlled conditions guided by your therapist at a pace that suits you. The result? A dramatic decrease in your anxiety reactions and symptoms, allowing you to live a life free from past traumatic events.

"Good so far."

"In general: I'm happy with the platform
Absolute pros: 1) it's very helpful in the CBT methods 2) the videos and the worksheets cover the basics and sometimes even above and beyond 3) the therapist they paired me with is very attentive, and is always reaching out and providing me with resources that could help me 4) my therapist is passionate about her work and to help me through this journey.
Room for improvement: The only recommendation I suggest is that this platform be made into an app that would be wonderful, especially if there is a reminder function. I understand that in the end I am the person who needs to be willing to make the changes and to go the extra mile, but I would really appreciate if I could be reminded to do my work. This is my personal preference, so I would take it with a pinch of salt."

"I was skeptical of these services. Not in person? Not covered by insurance? However, after a couple of tries, I was able to find a therapist that I aligned with. I also applied for financial aid and even reimbursement from my health insurance."

"I was paired with a wonderful therapist who helps guiding me through my struggles with so much respect and care. Being able to text her and have two sessions per week is truly helpful and relieving. Would 10/10 always recommend!"

"I would like to talk about the good. I really didn't care for the first therapist. I met with her twice. Like many, I was worried about getting a good one, and more worried about switching if I had to. I didn't have any choice in the first one. She was just assigned to me. But switching was painless and far easier than I thought. I didn't need to explain or anything. You just hit a button to switch and then I had about a dozen choices. I enjoy my second therapist much better.

The CBT part of the website. I am not sure how I feel about it. I wanted to try guided CBT and this website does a good job. I one face to face therapist before trying this website and she also wasn't very good. But the way she introduced and did CBT with me also wasn't good. This website does a great job of breaking it down with video and worksheets. I am about 70% done with video and worksheets and the early stuff helped me realize some problem areas, but some of the later work sheets just aren't clicking with me. I don't know. Maybe my issues are too complex. Or one week one thing is bothering me, a couple weeks later its something else. If I had a singular issue I could see CBT working better for me, but my self talk and automatic negative thoughts have not been consistent through out this trouble period of my life. I am not saying it hasn't been helpful, it has.

Either way, I see the CBT as kinda a bonus and not the main reason I signed up. I live overseas and English speaking therapists are extremely hard to find or EXTREMELY expensive. So the main reason I joined was be able to have access to a live therapist that speaks English. I am happy with how this website handles that and far cheaper for than local therapists."
