You can start with the banal and describe for a long time that everything is individual and the frequency of meetings (their number) is determined based on the needs and financial capabilities of the client. The schedule and free hours of a psychologist (psychoanalyst or psychotherapist) are taken into account. Or you can start simply: the frequency of meetings is from one to five times a week, the total number of visits is also from one before the decision to end therapy is made. This may be several meetings, or perhaps several years.
Questions very often arise:
- Is it worth going to a psychologist at all?
- What should I tell him? Prepare your story in advance or say whatever comes to mind?
- What problem is worth going to a specialist, and which one can you cope with yourself?
- Maybe friends will replace the psychologist?
- What happens during a therapy session?
- How much does the appointment cost and how much will the treatment cost?
If there is a desire to seek help from a specialist, most likely there is a need for help. There is a desire to share your oppressive state, emotions and feelings that are torn out. If you have questions about your mental, emotional state, current events, your past, behavior and attitude towards you around you, then perhaps contacting a psychologist will also help you.
When contacting a specialist, it is worth considering your goals. This is necessary to answer the question - how many times to visit a psychologist (psychotherapist or psychoanalyst). If you need a short consultation with answers to fairly simple and easy questions, then you can limit yourself to one consultation and not force yourself to constantly go to therapy. If you still have questions for yourself or a specialist, then you can come to one or more consultations. Your condition at the time of contact may be different. You may simply be interested and curious about your states that you do not understand. Or you can be in an acute state, when all the senses are heightened, and often everything is reflected in the physical state: panic attacks, pressure (both low and high), sweating, asthma, stomach and digestive diseases in general, obesity, anorexia, bulimia, somatic behavioral disorders, sciatica, migraines and other psychosamotic disorders.
If you need psychotherapeutic help, then expect that it will be several dozen techniques. Usually people seek psychotherapeutic help when they feel so bad that they can no longer tolerate it. It will be impossible to work fruitfully without removing the acute condition. A person, when experiencing strong feelings and is in an altered state, does not hear or perceive the psychologist. And in the absence of contact, it is impossible to provide psychotherapeutic assistance. After the acute condition has been overcome, by expressing it with the help of a psychotherapist. When the strength of emotions returns to normal. You can work with deeper experiences and events that caused the acute condition.
If you want to undergo classical psychoanalysis or psychoanalytic therapy, then you should already count on a year or more of work. Meetings (and in psychoanalysis they are called psychoanalytic sessions) take place from one to five times a week. The frequency depends on the temporal ability of the person himself and the psychoanalyst, as well as on the financial ability of the applicant. Such a large number of hours is due to the fact that psychoanalytic therapy requires a complete and detailed manifestation of all aspects of a person's life, all his behavioral features, the smallest details of life, starting from early memories. Without this, it is impossible to begin to change deep experiences.
