I think I read somewhere that only 25% of clients keep a second appointment. The number drops further after that, this article claimed, especially as "deep stuff" (still not totally clear what that is) comes up. I am not sure we can say this is all due to horrific therapists, although three of the ones I've tried over the decades were so bad at the first appointment that I did not keep the second one.
