As a therapist, I really can't think of a better tool to maintain accountability, rebuild trust and prove sobriety to loved ones.
Imagine having access to your therapist without the hassle of commuting or rigid appointment times. In this episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', host Duane Osterlind chats with Megan Peterson from 2nd Chance Counseling about the transformative potential of online therapy for addiction treatment. Peterson's company is pioneering internet-based therapy, making it accessible, flexible, and cost-effective for those battling addiction.
Megan shares how video chat therapy can be a game-changer, allowing patients to connect with their therapists at times that suit them best. This flexibility means appointments can be scheduled on short notice, and sessions can be tailored to the patient's needs. Whether it's an early morning or late evening session, online therapy breaks down barriers that often prevent people from seeking help. However, it's not all smooth sailing.
Peterson and Osterlind discuss some of the drawbacks, such as technical glitches and the potential lack of effectiveness compared to face-to-face sessions for some individuals. They emphasize the importance of finding the right therapist who can navigate these challenges and provide the necessary support. The conversation also touches on the broader societal impact of addiction and how digital communication is reshaping human connections.
As technology continues to evolve, so does the landscape of therapy, offering new possibilities for those in need of help. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of addiction treatment and how online therapy could revolutionize the way we approach mental health care.
