“Hi there, it’s Doctor Courtney Raspin.

I was speaking to my colleague Alex the other day and we were talking about zoom
therapy and how some people really, really like it, and other people don’t.

It got us talking in depth about some of the pros and cons of doing therapy in this way
and we thought it would be a really great idea to have a chat online, have a bit of an
interview to talk about it a little bit more because we thought it would be of interest
to you as potential clients and maybe some therapists out there too might find it
interesting.

[AP] So we were talking quite a bit about the way people might feel about coming
online for a therapy session as opposed to being in person with a therapist, and the
pros of that, but then also the cons of it as well.
So why people might be nervous of doing an online session rather than seeing
someone face to face in an office. Have you found that a lot of your clients are happy
to move to online therapy?

[CR] You know I’ve actually been surprised at how easy it’s been for many people to
do it and I think it’s especially the people that you already have a relationship with
because once you’ve formed that relationship you kind of know where you stand, you
know how you feel in the room, but even in the therapy space, so it’s been an easier
transition.

There have been some glitches with regards to the technology, but I think we’ve
ironed that all out and we can talk about that a little bit later.

I’d say that for some people it has been hard, and I think some of the hardness has
been around newer clients who perhaps wanted to start therapy but now are saying
they don’t want to. They want to wait, although people on our team have had success
with that as well, existing clients even being seen on a screen has brought up a lot for
people.

[AP] So why do you think that is? Why would it be any different being on a video call
with somebody than to be in a face-to-face room with somebody?

[CR] I think the one thing is with Zoom – and that’s what we use – you can see
yourself, and that’s a bit disconcerting, especially because I work a lot with body
image difficulties, eating disorders, you know anxiety and what not, and social
anxiety, and so much about social anxiety is how you perceive yourself to be seen by
other people and you’re always looking for cues from other people to decide how it is
that you’re being perceived.

So, you’ve got yourself coming back at you and people start thinking, you know “well
why does my face look like that?”, or “I wonder what they’re thinking about that”, and
all these things.

Now as a therapist I think it’s fantastic because it’s grist for the mill, you know we
can talk about so what is it like, when you see yourself, or when you made that facial
expression, what did you think that I was thinking?

So, it provides a new opportunity for us to talk about difficulties in a different way.

For some people it’s just too overwhelming to see themselves. So, what we do is we
have them turn their self-view off.”

Mental health apps are gaining traction

Self-help apps are leading more people to therapy rather than replacing it,
psychologists say
By Rebecca A. Clay. January 1, 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic could accelerate the development of mental health apps.
That’s good news for psychology because these types of apps can lead users to
therapy and enhance treatment, say psychologists.

Mental health-related self-help apps now number somewhere between 10,000 and
20,000, estimates Stephen Schueller, PhD, executive director of One Mind
PsyberGuide, a nonprofit organization offering accurate, unbiased information about
such apps. The number can be hard to track as new apps are constantly being
developed and older ones are taken off the market, says Schueller. […]

Apps could spur people’s interest in working with a psychologist, says Schueller.
“Apps might be a gateway to subsequent care,” he says. “Someone might download
a CBT app, realize it’s helpful, and then find a therapist to help more.”

And while some psychologists may worry that apps could replace therapy, that’s not
happening, says C. Vaile Wright, PhD, senior director for health care innovation at APA,
citing a study that found that just two apps—Headspace and Calm—account for 90%
of active users (Wasil, A. R., et al., Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology,
2020). “I really don’t think people are turning to mindfulness apps as a replacement
for therapy,” says Wright. Once people are in therapy, apps can help psychologists
enhance patients’ progress. “A lot of work that happens in therapy actually happens
outside the therapy office,” says Wright. “Apps can facilitate that work.” Apps can also
help patients address co-occurring problems like insomnia or serve as booster
sessions once therapy has ended.

There are some potential downsides, however. “Anyone can put an app up on the
various app stores, so a lot of these are probably not that helpful,” says David C.
Mohr, PhD, who directs the Center for Behavioral Intervention Technologies at the
Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University. […] Ineffective apps could
turn people off the idea of seeking therapy or disrupt a treatment plan a
psychologist has already laid out, says Mohr. “And a few apps can be just plain
dangerous,” adds Mohr, citing a study that found the content of some apps for bipolar
disorder inconsistent with established treatment practice (Nicholas, J., et al., Journal
of Medical Internet Research, 2015).

To ensure that self-help apps are a boon to psychologists and their patients going
forward, clinicians need to get more involved, says Wright. “It’s important that
psychologists serve as subject matter experts and consultants to companies
developing apps,” she says. […] Marlene M. Maheu, PhD, executive director of the
Telebehavioral Health Institute, agrees. “We’re either going to be part of the
technological revolution—and help create it and direct it with proper values—or we’re
going to be left behind,” she says.

5. Dr Wright fears that mental health apps will replace therapy. True or false?
False: “I really don’t think people are turning to mindfulness apps as a replacement for
therapy,” says Wright.

6. What is his argument?

Instead of replacing therapy, mindfulness apps can accompany it: “A lot of work that
happens in therapy actually happens outside the therapy office,” says Wright. “Apps
can facilitate that work.”

7. Explain what a “booster session” (l.18) is in therapy.

*Booster session: in therapy, particular cognitive behaviour therapy is any
occasional periodic session, after the main sessions officially ended, to reinforce
progress or troubleshoot (=diagnose and shoot) obstacles to continuance of positive
changes made during the therapy.
Booster sessions are often encouraged to prevent a relapse of symptoms and to
reinforce client's self-help skills

8. What about yourself? Do you use mental health apps? What do you think of
it?
I don’t, but I think they are a good complement of a classical therapy.

GRAMMAR – Les modaux.

Lors du CM2 on a vu l’auxiliaire de modalité should & must.

Il y a 2 catégories :

- Obligation, norms and advice

- Probability and possibility

Les modaux n’existent pas à l’infinitif (ex : to should)

Ils ne peuvent pas etre suivis d’un autre modal en anglais standard (ex : will should
ou can must)
Ils sont suivis de la base verbale du verbe (ex : I should go)
Ils ne prennent pas de -s à la 3ème personne du singulier au présent (ex : she should
go)

Dans le texte étudié, relevez d’autres exemples d’auxiliaires de modalité :

- Could : expression du logiquement possible, déduction logique. C’est proche de

« May »
- Can : idée de possibilité associée à celle de capacité
 - Might : degré de probabilité moindre, traduit par un conditionnel en français.
- May : expression du possible, possibilité de 50%

Il y a aussi :

- Should
- Ought
- Must
- Shall
- Will
