Success and Duration of Therapy
The success and duration of therapy are unique to each individual. Healing is a process, not an event, and the time required for a person to heal is highly individual. Generally, the success of therapy depends on several factors:
1. Severity of the Problem
The nature and extent of the issue play a key role. Does the individual experience physical problems in addition to emotional and mental challenges? What kind of environment and circumstances are they currently in? Are they facing the problem alone, or do they have support from others? How long has the problem persisted? These factors greatly influence the outcome of therapy.
2. Motivation of the Client and Desired Goals
The client’s personal desire for healing and improving their situation is the most critical factor in the success of therapy. Taking responsibility for one's life, condition, and challenges is essential for healing. The duration of therapy also depends on the client’s goals—whether they wish to simply alleviate existing symptoms and improve their current state or seek a deeper transformation, growth, and personal development.
3. Expertise and Quality of the Therapist
The therapist's professional and life experience, their motivation to help clients, and their empathy and love for people and all living beings significantly impact the therapy process.
4. Techniques and Methods Used by the Therapist
The appropriate selection of techniques and methods is crucial. Not every technique suits every individual, and the same or similar problem can be approached in different ways depending on the client’s current needs and their openness to self-work.
Considering all these factors, therapy can last anywhere from one, two, or three sessions to several years. My goal is for clients to experience improvement as quickly as possible and for therapy to be as short as necessary. If the client wishes to continue working on personal growth and development afterward, therapy can be extended based on their needs and desires.
My approach is to empower the client to become self-reliant as soon as possible, providing them with all the necessary “tools” to help themselves and rely more on their own capabilities. Creating a dependent relationship is not the goal of therapy.
Disclaimer of Responsibility
The progress of each client depends entirely on their own efforts, circumstances, and commitment to applying what is learned during therapy. As a therapist, I act solely as a guide and motivator, offering tools, techniques, and support to assist the client on their path. The responsibility for achieving results ultimately lies with the client, as their personal dedication and circumstances play a decisive role in the success of therapy.
True self-work happens in daily life.
Real progress comes when the client actively takes responsibility for their life and well-being by applying the techniques, advice, and insights gained during therapy sessions.
