[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of us, in fact, the vast majority, came to this forum because we couldn't believe all the hype around Jen and the utter lack of pushback or criticism anywhere. Wading into her comment section was like going into a room of attack dogs.  And seeing our otherwise-sane friends liking her posts made us think...am I seeing what I'm seeing?

She created a Potemkin village with her fake happy family and fake robust, healthy church.

And why is she still shilling Better Help?  Kristen Howerton all but crapped all over them in her podcast, and aren't she and Jen the bestest of the bestie circle?  Kristen said that she worked for them briefly, and was appalled at her huge caseload of clients and the lack of follow up.  She felt that they were borderline harmful to people seeking therapy.[/quote]

I was thinking of Better Help when I read about the woman who killed all the people including babies in that horrific car accident in LA. She was truly mentally ill - she has been having terrible psychotic breaks since 2018.

But she was being medicated for bipolar etc. Then during the pandemic, she began seeing a new online therapist and/or psychiatrist who told her all she had was anxiety so she went off the strong meds and got worse and worse.

Not saying this was Better Help. I have no idea. But it made me wonder how often that has happened to other mental health patients due to lockdown?

Sure, it’s great more people are getting therapy etc etc. But teletherapy is the online dating version of therapy if there was no prior relationship. It’s a poor poor substitute for the real thing and should only be a last resort, not the panacea they act like it is.
