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

Most people don’t talk about real shit at all. Let alone with someone who actually listens, is qualified and helps. An hour a week starts to add up quickly.
Therapist here. The healing doesn’t happen in the therapists office, it happens when you apply what you learn the rest of the time. We aren’t magic, you have to use what you learn!

As a mental health professional, I just wanna say how cool it was reading these comments. Helping people is hard, and we don’t always get feedback on if we’ve helped at all. It’s very cool seeing that so many people learned how it works so well, they can help demystify what therapy is for others. So many of you nailed it, talking about homework and practicing skills in between sessions. Thanks everyone, and I hope you’re satisfied with their answers, OP!
