How is therapy effective when you (typically) only talk for one hour per week?

Imagine a bucket of water. Every day, you fill it up a little; a tiny sip at best with the occasional splash of something new. The water is stress and weird stuff you can’t properly identify, like a tiny toxic rubber duck. But every week, for just an hour, you study the water and pick out things that don’t belong. You pour them out with some of that water. It’s not much at first, but little by little, that water starts to get lower. Now your bucket isn’t as full, so you can manage it a little better. Then hopefully, you can use it to stop the water from being poured in as much, so your stressful little bucket is lighter in your heart.
It’s not much, it takes time, but it always helps.
