Answer 1

Bc therapy isn’t just talking, it’s about giving you tools to deal with mental illness/ distressing situations/ trauma and teaching you how to use them.

It’s like school. You might only do one or two hours a week of a particular subject where the teacher just talks, but over time it’s enough to give you the knowledge you need about something. Therapy is the same.
