The Duration and Frequency of Therapy

From my viewpoint, there is no specific time frame for therapy. Therapy s based on your specific issue and need. My therapy sessions are generally one hour long and weekly until the problem addressed is being managed by the individual. Sessions then vary from once every two weeks to once a month. Therapy is completed when the person's life is" working" for them. If your life is "working for you," you should be able function well and be satisfied in 6 specific areas of your life. These areas are: your personal life with yourself, your life with your family, yourlife with your friends, your social life, your activity life, and if it applies, your spiritual life. When you are comfortable that your life is "working for you," it is time to end your therapy sessions. T
