NOTE

Impact of Therapy Duration and Intensity

Weekly therapy sessions can have a significant impact as individuals apply what they learn throughout the week. Studies show that 10 sessions may improve 30% of individuals, half a year about 50%, and one year roughly 75%, particularly for issues like depression and anxiety. However, for more complex traumas, it might require more years of therapy. Intensive therapy programs offer a higher dose of therapy, resulting in deeper connections with others and better outcomes within a shorter timeframe than traditional weekly sessions. The active processing and application of therapy concepts between sessions enhance the effectiveness of therapy, making the impact extend beyond just the session time.

I think an hour a week of therapy can actually be incredibly impactful. And maybe it's a little different from like a link. Well, no, it's probably similar, but I think people are like, people who are actively involved in therapy are practicing what they learn during that one hour and applying it in so many areas of their life throughout that week. And there's homework and there's other things to do. So yeah, it's an interesting analogy. And I'll think on that one. But yeah, I think weekly therapies is amazing and I don't want to discount that.
Speaker 1
Yeah. So, you know, how long does therapy take? Right? Depends on the issue, but there are studies that look at how long it takes, you know, 10 sessions, maybe 30% get better. Half a year of therapy, about 50%, one year of therapy, about 75%. You know, this is like probably just depression and anxiety, like types of things. But it's the that poly trauma, you know, when you start getting up in the A-scores, it might take more years. It might take a bigger dose. Liam, the idea of once a week therapy may not be for everyone. I mean, that's why I recommend partial for a lot of patients who have a need for something more intense because they get that dose response. That's like, you know, in the in the partial program that I help run within six months, they might have had, you know, nine hours a week, times what? 20 weeks. It's a lot of therapy. It's a lot of hours of therapy. Now, not all that time they're devoted on their self, which is kind of good, actually, sometimes they're devoted on listening to others, connecting with others in the group. And they feel this intense connection by the end of the program with their classmates, which is really powerful as well. So I think dose, dose is important to think about with like what therapies work and we'll get, we'll get into the more of the details. The other thing is just once an hour, once a week is not just an hour, once a week, because they're often thinking about and processing and applying the things that are coming out of that hour. And so they may be doing the work even when you're not together.
