Is Online Therapy Dying?

ByMikeM December 8, 2022December 7, 2022 Reading Time: 3 minutes

Even though some companies might have gotten this all wrong, we still have the same issues we’ve had with mental health services that we’ve had for years.

It only gets worse the longer you wait. Read the examples, and if any of them sound like your kid, do something.

I especially identified with the section on maladaptive schemas that may have developed during childhood because I’ve always been a big believer that children growing up in abusive situations will develop whatever mechanism they need to survive and then carry those same mechanisms into adulthood instead of learning the things they should learn as kids.

That’s a maladaptive schema if there ever was one.
