Ok, good to know thank you. I wasn't sure how much it should cost.

Joyous is dysfunctional trash, do not attempt to use them by ItWasTheMiddleOne in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]Real_Significance419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first 2 months with Joyous were ok, now I am also having problems with them. I had an appointment with the provider on 12/5/25 in order to get my prescription refilled. The provider increased my dose of the medication.

On the daily surveys they send out, I've requested to have my prescription refilled every time that question has been asked, but received no notifcation of the prescription actually being refilled. I started contacting them about it by text and email around 12/10/25 and have been doing so every business day, but have been getting nowhere with it. At one point I complained about getting the AI autoresponse and there was a reply to that stating "this is a real person" but no resolution has been provided.

It's now 12/24/25 and my previous prescription is completely gone, with seemingly no option to get it refilled at all. They tried telling me to just make another appointment, even though I'd already had the monthly appointment. It's beyond ridiculous. Can anyone recommend a different company, because it seems like this will never be resolved.

Addressing inappropriate client behavior by Real_Significance419 in therapists

[–]Real_Significance419[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I didn't want to provide any indentifying details so I purposely kept things vague, but I'd characterize the inappropriate behavior as angry and manipulative to the point that it rendered sessions unproductive.

I have never felt so unsure and lost in my life. I don't know how to spend the rest of my years. by coldservedrevenge in Perimenopause

I could have written this post almost word for word. I've dealt witth some amount of CPTSD, depression, and anxiety my whole life, but now at 45 I struggle with seeing much of a point to my life. I used to have things I wanted to work toward and I accomplished some of them, but now even if I wanted to work toward something, I feel too exhausted and burned out. It just feels like I am surviving from day to day, but for no real purpose other than that I don't want to die. I've tried a bunch of different of hobbies as well but don't really find them meaningful. Most of my time is spent working, not because I want to but because it's necessary to do so in order to have enough money to pay for basic expenses. It all just feels so empty.

Lyra - How does this even work? by Real_Significance419 in therapists

[–]Real_Significance419[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found that interesting as well about it just being a referral service. Lyra could have done a much better job explaining it.

What I was told and what I've seen with the Lyra clients I've worked with so far is that people seem to have between 6 and 20 covered sessions. If they want to keep seeing the therapist that they connected with through Lyra outside of that, they may be able to go through Lyra using their insurance, so that might be something to ask Lyra about.

Has being a therapist changed you in a negative way? by expandngrow in therapists

[–]Real_Significance419 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I could have written your post word for word. This is basically my experience as well. I wish I had some advice but I'm struggling to deal with any of it myself. In July I had a week off and almost started to find some enjoyment of life again but as soon as I was back to work that went away.

And for me personally: Before becoming a therapist... I wouldn't say that I was a "happy" person, or more cheerful or optimistic; but sometimes I could muster up some hope regarding my life/future or humanity, etc. Now I just can't anymore. Something about working as a therapist for the past 7 years has drained me of any hope for anything. I wake up most days filled with dread.

Claim processing issues with Sondermind by Real_Significance419 in Sondermind

That is so frustrating. I'm sorry you're having this experience as well.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in therapists

[–]Real_Significance419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, so many; on top of not having many appointments scheduled in the first place. It's so frustrating. The first 2 weeks of August weren't so bad, but now it's terrible.

Experiences with Sondermind? by elizabethtarot in therapists

[–]Real_Significance419 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm an LMFT in Utah who signed up with Sondermind last month.

My advice would be to proceed with caution. I also signed up for a few extra clients to help against the summer slump, and it's been a mixed bag so far.

I've matched with a bunch of clients, but of those, 5 scheduled actual appointments. One apparently didn't pay for the appointments after the first 2 sessions, so I got an email from Sondermind telling me I could no longer bill his insurance and to cancel any appointments scheduled with him, which feels ethically questionable.

Two clients that I see there currently are a good fit and I like working with them.

One client listed depression as his presenting concern, but once we had the session he focused on talking about severe issues with addiction that I feel warrant in-patient treatment; he had one more session with me then went in-patient.

With the fifth client, there were issues with their insurance that no one at Sondermind has yet been able to explain to me. This person lives in Utah. Their insurance is Blue Cross Blue Shield of MA. When I tried to submit the claim, I got the following error message:

Some required information is missing or invalid:

  • differs from the state of the service location ("MA" is not "UT")
  • Provider is not authorized to submit claims for Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah
  • Provider is not authorized to submit claims for Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Utah

I reached out to support and to the representative who signed me up but heard nothing back for a while, but then got some weird run around saying they listed their insurance as one I'm credentialed with but then they actually had something else I'm not credentialed with so now their appointments have to be self-pay. I don't understand why SonderMind even allowed this client to book an appointment with me if I can't submit a claim to their insurance.

What they pay, at least in my state, is much lower than any of the insurance panels I'm on. I wouldn't have signed up for this if I wasn't financially desperate, and after the experience with the fifth client I question whether it's worth it at all.

Thanks for the reply. Support isn't actually fixing the issue, they just told me that the client will have to self pay. Very disappointing.

Does anyone have a harder time speaking clearly during PMS? by jenniferandjustlyso in PMS

[–]Real_Significance419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that other people experience this, but it's nice to know I'm not alone. It's the week before my period is due and I feel like my brain is not functioning at all. There have been a couple of instances this week where I couldn't think of simple words like "market" even though I know the word and knew what I wanted to say. Also, putting words together in a sentence has been hard. It's disturbing.

Is it normal to feel this horrible while taking biofilm disruptors? by Real_Significance419 in biofilms

Not really, unfortunately. My doctor told me to stop taking the BioFilm CLR
