5. How long can I expect to be in therapy? This depends on a number of things. Your goals and expectations of therapy play an important role in determining how long you stay in therapy. Some people feel they have reached a desired understanding and change in their lives after several sessions. Others may take longer to feel this. There is no right or wrong length of time to be in therapy. Since you can always learn more about yourself, you may want to continue with therapy until you feel you have reached a point where you have gained all that you can. At this time, you may decide to stop therapy. Talking with your therapist about the decision to end therapy is helpful. There can be times when therapy may seem to slow down, just before important issues come up. |
