How many sessions will I need?

If you had a nurturing childhood and have a single trauma to process, such as a car accident or an assault, your treatment could be 3-6 sessions. If you have a history of abuse, neglect, or both, and you have many traumatic memories to reprocess, then your therapy could last for two to four years. That may sound like a lot to you, but compared to talk therapy alone, which may take 15 years and not be completely effective, it is remarkably short.
