I don't remember precisely.. but the persistently painful part lasted at least six months. And then for about 3 years after that the template I had from my family of origin was overwritten. Keep in mind tho that although the pain had subsides a great deal, there were a lot of ruptures because I persisted in expecting my therapist to be the a copy of my template. She was brilliant and instinctive in how she handled all the curve balls I threw at her. It changed my life.. and I'm so grateful.
Oh.. and I saw her as often as I needed to. For a while, it was at least two.. and sometimes three times a week.
