Sessions during the initial three week period are open-ended but average about two hours in length. It is also recommended that you bring your childhood pictures or anything else that brings up memories which have a special significance for you. Although the length of the therapy varies widely, our recommendation is that all applicants should be prepared to stay an average of one year at Dr Janov's Primal Center. For those of you who have had previous Primal Therapy and wish to enter Dr. Janov's Primal Center, please contact the office for special instructions. Although individual needs for therapy vary, the optimum therapy includes at least one individual session and one group session per week for the first six months.
Individual sessions are open-ended.
One must have the financial means that will allow for continuing therapy, particularly more individual sessions during the year. After the third week of individual therapy the patient may return to work. I never knew it was possible to feel so good. Now I am going back home to live.
