Are you waffling between thinking you can’t keep doing THIS
but wondering if weekly therapy is worth the time and money?
It’s normal to question “Will therapy actually work for me?”
I wholeheartedly believe in the power of what therapy can do—because I’ve lived it firsthand.
I’ve witnessed clients transform as they’re given the space to talk openly, to be heard without judgment, and to work through their thoughts and feelings.
…And I’ve been the client- given the space to process, workshop, and sort through my own life experiences.
But… weekly???
That’s a big commitment!
Does therapy have to be weekly?
While there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to how often you should attend therapy. Whether it’s weekly, biweekly, or even monthly depends on your schedule, finances, and how committed you are. While committing to weekly therapy might feel overwhelming at first, research shows that a weekly schedule tends to deliver faster and more effective results.
A 2019 study found that individuals who attend therapy less frequently don’t experience the lasting relief they’re hoping for, especially when dealing with issues related to trauma and emotion regulation. A long-term study of therapy clients found that those who attended weekly sessions made quicker and more significant strides in their mental health compared to those who went less often.
Here’s FIVE reasons weekly therapy is the best investment for your time, money, and well-being:
Faster, More Meaningful Progress
Building trust in therapy takes time, and that trust is key to making real progress. Weekly sessions create the consistency needed to form a strong therapeutic relationship, allowing you to feel safe enough to open up and do the deep work that leads to lasting change.
Consistent Momentum and Accountability
Progress can feel slow when there’s too much time between sessions. With weekly therapy, you build momentum and stay on track. Your therapist helps you stay accountable to your goals, reflecting on what’s working and identifying what’s holding you back.
Deeper Insights and Breakthroughs
Weekly therapy lets you dive deeper into your experiences. Even when a session seems like there’s “not much to talk about,” those moments often lead to the most profound insights. That’s when you can explore what’s working and create real breakthroughs that drive lasting transformation.
Steady Support and Guidance
Life doesn’t pause between therapy sessions, and neither does the need for support. Weekly therapy ensures you have a consistent space to navigate life’s ups and downs. You can address challenges as they arise, with your therapist guiding you through difficult emotions and conversations.
Cost-Effective in the Long Run
While weekly sessions may feel like a bigger financial investment upfront, they can lead to faster progress, meaning fewer sessions overall. The long-term benefits of deeper self-awareness and stronger relationships make the commitment worthwhile.
