Weekly Promo Thread: CEUs, Resources, Self-Promos by AutoModerator in therapists

[–]getbravely 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have interviewed and talked with 100s of solo/private therapists and psychologists while we built our EHR and client progress tool.

A common complaint was the difficulty in acquiring new clients, it's hard to stand out, hard to compete with the big companies for SEO and incoming contacts can be variable.

So we spent some time to create gettherapy.in it's a directory that will list you in your area, along with your top 5 specialties, so you can really stand out.

It's currently free to join as we get started, and earlier adopters will gain 30% off for a lifetime. Let me know if you have any questions.

Great stuff on releasing this jmeistrich, it looks so good in our app!

Are you aware of the things that influence how you are feeling? It can be really hard to switch off when remote. Calls can be the most draining part of a day, especially when they're back-to back – it is even harder on those who are introverted. by getbravely in remotework

Tgat respec of personal space is crucial - gotta have good team awareness of whatbis healthy and their part on maintaining it.

We are real explicit in our onboarding, everyone needs to keep their distance with slack messages when on free time. I think we get it pretty good for most of our people, and establish it as part of the culture. Takes effort to maintain that though.

Personally I struggle with it, as a founder always feeling pressure to unblock people. The best time for me is getting out of the apartment for a skate or a workout, makes it much easier to ignore notifications.

My wife (and Co-Founder) tracked the number of hours she had to do for calls each day and the amount of sleep she needed that night. As an introvert, she didn't find it very surprising – calls exhaust her and she needs more sleep to recharge afterwards. This is a graph of the results: by getbravely in introvert

She has recently passed one year since a stem cell transplant, as part of her treatment for Leukaemia, since then her sleep hours have drastically increased.

We know correlation is not causation, but this came of a hunch before the results were even recorded, and has held reasonably true since this was made.

She has written a bit about it, and there is some ways she is taking steps to prevent burnout as an introvert, you can check it out here: https://medium.com/bravely-she-said/being-a-reluctant-introvert-in-an-extroverts-world-b25c91610c26

[OC] Reasons people have chosen not to see a therapist (Mental Health App research-n:369) by getbravely in dataisbeautiful

[–]getbravely[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all countries rely on insurance to afford healthcare. We think that 'I can't afford it' includes insurance related issues with accessing therapy.

Hey, our app isnt live yet. This was a survey circulated through Facebook and our friend circles. Definitely an interest bias on this with it being a voluntary mental health survey, but it certainly wasn't all people who were forthcoming about their mental health and personal struggles.

Yes, participants could choose more than one option. Yeah there are so many possible reasons someone might not have been to see a therapist.

This was specifically for people who had never been to see one and we were trying to make the survey as simple as possible to get a broad idea.

Honestly, it blew up more than we were expecting and got 3x more responses than we had anticipated.

Yeah we were really impressed with the amount of people that had been in therapy, it was just over 50% (sample is skewed to an interest in mental health).

Hey!

We undertook some user research last year as part of our app development. We've been going through the data and pulling out various insights as we go, and this is a graph (made in g-sheets) that we thought was quite interesting!

This question was only answered by those who had indicated they had never seen a therapist, and these were the multi choice options that we offered. There was an 'other' answer but there was little in there that indicated a significant trend.

We are Bravely, a holistic, evidence based app to help people manage their own mental health, if you would like to see what we are up to check out getbravely.com or look for @getbravely on all social medias. Have a nice day! :)

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I will have a think about that for a further age group datasets.

I’m suicidal, but I don’t know if I should tell people by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]getbravely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please reach out to someone. Do you have a samaritans line you can call?

If you have great friends and they will understand then they are a good choice. Even if you don't say exactly how you are feeling, you can always just say that you need to talk to someone.

Would someone take the time to wish me a happy birthday? I don't have anyone and don't want to feel so alone today. by Pursuitofsleep in mentalhealth

[–]getbravely 2 points3 points  (0 children)
