When signing up for therapy with a psychologist, many people hope for a quick result. It is a big mistake to think that in a couple of sessions you can solve all your problems that have been accumulating for years. The duration of therapy depends on the depth of the trauma, the presence of concomitant conditions - depression, emotional burnout, decreased emotional intelligence, the level of organization of the client's psyche - neurotic, borderline or psychotic. And all this can only be determined after psychodiagnostics. With a neurotic organization, 20 to 200 sessions once a week for 2 hours are enough. For borderline - from 300, for psychotics - for life. In order to solve the problem in a few sessions, the client must be completely psychologically healthy.
Those who promise to solve your problems in a couple of sessions have no idea about the laws of functioning of the psyche. Do you know how easy it is to test such a psychologist-wizard? Sign a contract with him, indicating your problem and the number of sessions, with full financial responsibility on his part - no one will agree. After the wow effect of a couple of sessions, the person quits therapy, the problem returns and the person goes to the psychologist again, and so on endlessly.
