betterhelp has faced backlash from the FTC over lax privacy controls for user data, including health data, as well as backlash from therapists due to a lack of documentation requirements and an inability to form productive relationships with clients. as a business model it further commodifies an essential health service, diverting potential clients away from more proven mental health care options and prioritizing convenience over quality care. I know you gotta get your bag, but surely there are less scummy advertising offers out there.
My Better Help therapist tried to hit on me and was really mean after I pointed out that it was inappropriate. BetterHelp themselves brushed off my report. Please don't accept their deals, now this video is depressing
I went to Betterhelp for a manic episode and I was matched with Bethany, who proceeded to instruct me to make a “potion” out of the cleaning agents under my sink. I’m pretty dizzy but I AM feeling more centered!
@@eyelessjack2660like 8 years ago, they got caught not having fully licensed therapists, which is kind of common even outside of better help. My therapist was a student
@@eyelessjack2660 They got caught illegally selling users' health info to advertisers for YEARS, and ended up paying millions after a lawsuit. They claim to have stopped, but it's very hard to believe them.
Depressing, grey and difficult themes make for way better stories and when u combine it with Christmas, which should be a happy time in theory, it hits different
I'm such a fan of your videos but... betterhelp, after all that still is coming out about them? I understand you need to make money, but I can't follow the channel while they are a sponsor. I will still watch if they come up in suggestions! Hopefully you locate a sponsor to replace them that lives up to your content.
I also remember the proud family holiday special when they met that homeless family. And as a kid, I didn’t understand that there were people that had nowhere to go in that kinda always stuck with me. So I am appreciative of everything I have especially during these holiday season. Thanks to all these Christmas specials growing up.
A few years ago, my Granny passed the week before Christmas, infact 3 years ago today, my Granny was my best friend, i told her my problems and we made each other laugh. The day she passed, my dad took me to spiderman no way home, a film id been looking forward to for months. After the movie, my father explained what happend and i was crushed. It was a confusing day, so i get pissed when people make fun of me for liking NWH calling me a nerd yknow. And i can't trauma dump on them everytime. So Christmas is a hard time for me personally.
Surprised at the amount of specials brought up in this video. Garfield and Life with Louie are definitely deep cuts, but my go-to will always be Olive the Other Reindeer. It’s got a cut-out pop-up book look to it that’s just so charming. Produced by Matt Groening, animated by DNA Productions (before Jimmy Neutron) and starring Drew Barrymore. Give it a watch. You won’t regret it.
Melancholy Christmas...my favorite! Our family watches "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas", every December 9th, which is the day it takes place. Thanks for the episode.
I have to watch The Year Without a Santa Claus every single Christmas. Its one of my favorites and for some reason I don't get into the Christmas sprint without it.
I think just this time of the year is usually a depressing time. But I hope everyone has a good holiday, a safe new year. And thank you elk for dropping just in time for the holidays.
I don't really click with the classic cartoons anymore except for Mickey Mouse Christmas Carol. But we always watch the Bob's Burgers Thanksgiving and Christmas episodes around the holidays. I also love the movie Klaus and watch it every year.
I watch a lot of Christmas cartoons during the holidays. King of the Hill's Christmas episodes, The classic Grinch Who Stole Christmas, Snowflake Day episode of Clown High, the criminally underrated Bump in the Night Christmas Special and the Simpsons, particularly Marge Be not Proud, as I've always felt like the black sheep in my family, and I've also been caught shoplifting like Bart. I understand as I've gotten older, that I did it in order to try and gain attention for my parents because my brother appeared to be getting the lion's share of attention while he was following the wrong path, which led to him spending time in prison. Fortunately he is on a good path now, but at that time I felt the only way I could be noticed was to act like my brother was, and receive negative attention instead of none at all. I also am working through depression, anxiety and PTSD, and Christmas is hard as it brings back memories of my childhood, which involved growing up in a house of addiction, and being a father now myself I always stress about giving the gifts to my son, wife and stepson that they deserve. It has been a long road, and some of this feelings remain, but I do find that the best part of the holidays is that time I have with family, in particular spending time with my son.
A yearly christmas cartoon? No I don't think so, while I watch most of the cartoons you mentioned for christmas, none of them is really a yearly tradition. Cartoons I watch more frequently besides them are probably the Moral Orel Christmas Special (any kind of animation counts, right?), the refrigerator day episode of the dinosaurs, and the TAS episode Christmas with the Joker - but even those at best every other year or so. What I do watch every holiday season without fail though is A very sunny Christmas, the X-Files two parter Christmas Carol/Emily, Babylon 5s The long night of Londo Mollari (which at least thematically though not textual, has the setup of a christmas story), and the forth season of Black Adder (that doesn't relate to Christmas at all). How odd is that?
This is the funniest thing! You ad for Betterhelp!? They are a scam. The therapists are not even professionals. Some OF model who spent 1 year in psych class and think she has everyone figured out. I would disagree with that statement 100%. If you have a negative outlook on life and things in general, yeah, Christmas movies are sad. If you actually follow to story, it has it's ups and downs, like all movies and things in life. If you only focus on the negative then that's all you are going to experience. Happy Holidays.
Almost mate. It's the other way around. Christmas is a Psyop to trick newly converted pagans, who are still unwilling to abandon their heathan traditions, into dressing them up in christian clothing until they are forgotten altogether. And it worked, the medieval churches got that one right to the t.

Were you aware of the multiple controversies surrounding BetterHelp before taking them on as a sponsor?
Promoting this has ruined your reputation.

Absolutely not I will never take better help. Better help is a terrible sponsor.

It’s true, I was there!
Not Betterhelp, mate. Just not them.
Are you going to explain yourself or just hit us with the most vague statement of all time?

Just wait; we'll find out something awful out about a certain sock company too

I'm paraphrasing, but there's a quote that basically goes "Stories need a sad beginning to have a happy ending."
I have far too much respect for you to see you do ads companies like better help
Frosty The Snowman gives me depression. The Charlie Brown Christmas specials make me smile or cry in a good way with the singing at the end.
Love your videos, but BetterHelp is not it.
I agree

@@eyelessjack2660 You can do the tiniest bit of research rather than trying to relay on youTube comments to tell you about it.

I'd say one of the first depressing Christmas stories was the Little Matchgirl. Complete with happy ending.

I do love how the live action show Community has an animated Christmas episode
a the holidays in which contemplate loneliness, selfishness, and the fall of Saigon.

Geez, 8 years? That’s wild
Here's to 8 more years!
For the algorithm! ✊
Great video man!
Because we're all Charlie brown
its mostly lack of sunlight for me.
Great video, minus the sponsor
Great as usual!!! Thanx and Merry Xmas!!!
If you're struggling, consider slice-of-life anime and low-barrier community hobbies.
And of course, if you can afford it, real therapy.
Sure, Christmas may not be easy for everyone...but something about it almost always sparks some glimmer of joy in people
Excellent work
Good grief Charlie Brown
Home alone ends really happily!
the dad from Life with Louie reminds me of George Bush Snr.
We wish you a turtle Christmas
If only Charlie Brown would use Better Help to find a better psychiatrist. Even if it cost more that 5 cents.
You really need to watch Klaus
Awesome video

Christmas is a pegan holiday, a psyop to make Christians celebrate the winter solstice
I can't believe jesus being born near the solstice is a conspiracy. clearly the Irish government trying to get us to go to Newgrange
Seasons greetings from antbox1992

Pagan, and I'm not Christian and not really celebrating anything religious. Just a holiday to be with my loved ones. Stay mad.
