These programs are based on established therapeutic principles like CBT, DBT, and positive psychology and can be highly beneficial for individuals seeking self-improvement. These approaches offer valuable tools and strategies for managing emotions, changing negative thinking patterns, and building resilience.
But therapy requires a qualified psychologist due to its complex nature and potential for dealing with deeper emotional issues. A psychologist can personalize treatment plans, address specific diagnoses, and provide clinical support, which aren’t always achievable through self-guided programs.
So if you are uncertain, consult a mental health professional to see what is right for you. Ultimately, the best approach depends on your individual needs and circumstances. Combining self-guided programs with therapist support can be an effective strategy for some people, while others may require direct, personalized therapy from a psychologist.
Here are some thoughts you might consider:
- It is up to you to take ownership of your mental well-being
- These programs assist you by offering interactive learning and guidance in applying effective cognitive, mental and emotional tools.
- These are self-guided programs, and even where you choose to add a coach to the program, these programs fo not offer a personalized diagnosis, treatment plan and there is no mental health professional to provide crisis interventions.
- We encourage you to seek professional help if you are experiencing issues beyond the scope of these programs.
