While there is no way to predict how many sessions will be needed to help you meet your goals, many people find that they begin experiencing some amount of symptom relief within the first handful of sessions. Keeping open lines of communication with your therapist to continue assessing progress, needs, and recommendations is important. While therapy is a great resource, it is not meant to last a lifetime. Ultimately, you decide when you are ready to decrease frequency between sessions or discontinue therapy altogether.
