Therapy can have very different effects on everyone. For some, just talking about their problems is all they need to feel better. For others, they need solutions and guidance from a therapist. Depending on who you are, seeing a therapist can start working at very different times. But on thing is true: seeing a therapist is the way to go for dealing with serious issues.

It varies depending on the person and what they are taking therapy for. I can be a long time or no time at all.

Change begins with oneself, so the more determined the person, the faster it works but then again its how much faith the person has in the therapist, his confidence in the person he is confiding his secrets. But to quantify it with a timeline i'd say we would see change in a week to ten days on regular sessions.

For therapy to work it really depends on the person to see how long it takes for it to work. They have to be willing to try new things to help them, the more willing the person is, the more likely chance that it will kick in. There are times when some types don't work, but there are plenty of ways of treatment that a person can try. They just have to find one that is best suited for them.

It depends on the individual! Some people feel better right after the first session, some people don't feel better until a few months later, some people don't realise the therapy worked until they finish going to it. Wait at least a few months and see if it works for you or not. You can always request a new therapist if your current one isn't working for you.

Therapy takes a different amount of time for every one because all circumstances are unique. Therpay begins to work the moment you allow it to. For some this moment is right when they start because the realization that you need help and are strong enough to seek it is the first path in accepting that help.

For me it was about 5-6 months. I was really stubborn and didn't let my brain loosen up. But after 6 months the therapy started to working.
