How Often Do I Have to Come In?
I do 1 hour & 20 minute sessions and require you to attend weekly, especially at the beginning of treatment. I will give you tools to use on your own between sessions. Each session I give you more to integrate into your life. I have found that most people find it challenging to disrupt their old patterns and institute new ones so coming in irregularly has not worked. I have found people who attend irregularly or even every other work have not met their treatment goals. Real change requires focus and consistency. Once you are winding treatment down we can look at a less frequent schedule.
If we are doing EMDR you must come to session the week after an EMDR session, especially in the early phases. Since you continue to process in between sessions old memories, feelings or thoughts can arise which may require targeting the next week. In some cases people have reported becoming overwhelmed so attendance the week after a session is mandatory to make sure we can settle things down.
