I'm saying this as a licensed therapist: impersonating a therapist has SERIOUS legal consequences. She can be prosecuted. I would report her to the state board.

So...she hid the notes where his mom would pretty much HAVE to snoop to see them, and his biggest concern is the impression she's making on his mom. What a keeper! 🙄

Lilly and Emma both need to be slapped. No overreaction here. What's really sad is there are plenty of licensed therapists who conduct themselves in that manner.

That therapy one is a horrible thing to do to someone. And a great way to make your partner lose trust in you.

[feraltaco]

That first one. GIRL RUN!!! You're gonna end up sharing your marital bed with his mom.

Hey, just gonna add on to others saying to please not take sponsorship with Betterhelp, and please do research on sponsorships in the future before taking them. I know you gotta get that bag and part of having a career on YouTube is taking sponsorships, but Betterhelp is an actively harmful sponsorship. They do not fully vet their therapists, and say it is actually the clients responsibility to decide if a therapist is qualified or not. They exploit therapists on the platform by incentivising them to overwork themselves for pay. People often are matched with incompatible therapists to an incompetent degree (ie. matching a queer person with someone who believes in conversion therapy). And to top this all off, they were recently sued and heavily fined by the FTC for selling private health information for advertising. Things as sensitive as peoples diagnosis, gender identities, and sexualities.

Betterhelp has been shunned off the platform before, and it's sad to slowly see them creep back in. There is actual ways online to receive telehealth therapy with qualified therapists that meet full confidentiality requirements, and unlike Betterhelp, will also take insurance.

I really like your videos and I hope you don't take Betterhelp sponsorships in the future. :(

Do NOT associate with Better Help at all. They are very bad and it'd be quite good to look up all their controversies before signing on with them as sponsor.

[CormDaCrow]

Just a heads up dude Better Help is absolutely terrible. They got into trouble a few year ago for stuff like having therapists who weren't actually qualified, who didn't show up for their sessions adb who were overall just terrible at there jobs and from what I've heard they haven't improved much

[MoonlitWyvernx]

I would reconsider using better help as a sponsor. They were caught selling private medical information to advertisers and have a poor reputation.

I went to and have been in therapy for over 30 years. It saved my life and helps so much. The therapy story INFURIATED me. Also. Sue. Sue. Not only is this unethical, THIS IS DANGEROUS! This is psychological manipulation. Get away from Emma NOW!! Never, ever give her a second chance.

My guy is casually letting his mum violate his partner’s personal space and privacy. The notes are hilarious but mama’s boy needs to take a long hard look at himself, otherwise he needs to go.

2nd Story: Dude has been gas lit so bad he's questioning whether it was okay for him to be angry at being gas lit.

[gypsyjengypsydogs]

That poor girl in the last story. She must have been absolutely humiliated. I would be mortified.

[laferrari]

Wow, the second story had me livid! That guy’s gonna need therapy for the “therapy”. That’s the kind of stuff that sticks with people for years. Abhorrent stuff, and I hope he’s in a better place now.

[thedepthandbreadthofseth]

People misuse this term, but tricking someone into seeing a fake therapist is gaslighting!

[videosofhubris]

Hey better help is actually a really bad service to rep, they dont even check every therapist is properly licensed

[trisha]

What Lilly did was a felony. Therapist are licensed medical professionals. Impersonating one is a crime. He could have her arrested. I don't know if the gf could be charged with aiding her.

[kirstenirwin]

The best friend of the OP in the first story sounds like a good one! A friend who is willing to help you find a funny way to cope with and possibly drop some hints to a snooping future mother-in-law that she needs to back off is one you keep for life!

[bleistiftkritzler]

Noooo not the better help sponsorship . They’re so known to be terrible, one Google search should have showed that 😭💔

[rdarkstorm]

Betterhelp sponsorship is the ultimate red flag. Never trust a company that admits to selling confidential information and that has outed lgbtq patients.

[TheOfficialTarynTots]

That therapy thing was such bull. How could he possibly trust Emma ever again?!? She wasn't remorseful. He even caught her laughing about it.
