When I joined better help I had no idea what to expect. I found the app online and a few days later decided to join. I had been talking to a close friend and she also sent me a link saying that she listens to podcasts and more information through the app. I knew then that I had made a good choice by joining.
Donald shawler has a very calming demeanor and always makes me feel heard. Lately I've been dealing with a lot of anxiety and am in need of coping mechanisms to help with that. Donald has been my therapist now for almost 5 weeks and I do feel better and I look forward to our sessions. Just a big thank you Donald for what you do.

Dear Donald

I hope your surgery went well and you're recovering fast.

Just to let you know that I decided to focus on my issues with eyes - it is diminishing lately - and my weight. As this is enough for you to made a good judgment with your expertise, that I'd need more time to work then 30 min weekly and what we had before.

As from the general conditions of BetterHelp I understood - I can't freeze my subscription to have a break in the meanwhile. Like this I have to cancel BetterHelp and to sign up again, when my work with eyesight and weight is over.

I hope this makes sense to you too.

I thank you most warmly for your always professional and state of the art support and genuine desire to help and lift me up.

Words are not enough.

Again thank you, the dearest Donald.

And I hope to be back some time later.

Best wishes and again, wishing you a speedy recovery,
Alexandra
