I think some sessions are just more effective than others. I'm not sure why either except that maybe some issues are bigger and require more work than others? I have had several issues that required more than one session, and it is rare for my anxiety to simply dissipate as soon as the session is over, but I always feel better and more relaxed. A lot of times, as the days go by afterward, I will have a sudden epiphany as a result, which is probably the biggest reason I am such a fan of this therapy. Sometimes a few days will go by and I will get deeply depressed over something that came out during the session.

Recovering from trauma, unfortunately, is a lengthy process and it is not a linear one. Some sessions you make gads of progress, and others you leave more confused than when you started. I think this is normal for everyone. At least I hope it's normal, because otherwise I am an even bigger freak of nature than I thought!
