I was happy to be asked to contribute to a blog post for National Psychotherapy Day about why therapists recommend weekly therapy.
While I do see clients less frequently than weekly sometimes, I prefer to meet with clients weekly when possible. Here is an excerpt from the article talking about why:
Meeting weekly enables more rapid building of trust and rapport.
It is difficult to open yourself up to a therapist, to be vulnerable with someone you do not know and you don’t trust yet. The quicker that trust and connection can be established, the sooner you can get to the heart of the challenges you want to address in therapy.
Lots of great insight from other therapists in the article too. Check it out!
