How long does it take to get better?<\/h1>\n

Treatment of the soul is gradual \u2013 healing is a process. The time it takes to see an improvement in psychic health varies from person to person and depends on many factors (e.g. the seriousness and duration of the problem, external conditions and changes in client\u2019s life, the client\u2019s level of motivation and commitment). Some clients improve more quickly than others. Some clients feel worse before they start to feel better and this is normally an indication that they are making progress towards long-term improvement [1]. Although treatment of some difficulties may require weeks, other difficulties may require months or years.<\/p>\n

International studies show that, on average, 50% of clients have improved after 8 psychotherapeutic sessions, 75% after approximately 26 sessions and 85% after approximately 40 to 50 sessions [2, 3]. Studies have also consistently shown that the more regular and longer psychotherapy is, the more significant and durable are its outcomes \u00a0[4].<\/p>\n
