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

It’s like taking music lessons. The hour a week is meant to give you direction, you have to put in the time outside to get the real benefits.
Therapy doesn’t fix you during the session, it’s not like the gym where all the benefit is coming from the weight lifting itself. Therapy is about you learning how to think differently during all the time between sessions, that way you go less often or not at all.

For me, there’s two things I find to be particularly great about the time constraints
1. Because I only have an hour every week it forces me to think critically on exactly what I want to talk about
2. Not having access to my therapist more frequently allows me time to deal with problems on my own
Both of these help me practice the tools for being self-sufficient and practicing self-care

As a developer, there could also be also what we call the “rubber duck” effect.
Trying to explain something to someone (here a rubber duck :p) make you think (even if the goal is not to dig your issue/solution) which can lead you to discover answer to our problems.
Or, by talking enough, you end really thinking and digging your thoughts to find something.
