With the last one, I found end of sessions to be very destabilizing in many cases. Leaving the sanctuary-like therapy room to be suddenly alone with all the thoughts and fears and sensations that are stirred up… the contrast is too jarring and bit dangerous, especially when the end of the hour literally forces you to stop cold. For every 1 hour of therapy in the room, there were 10 more hours of therapy in my head, which i experienced as nightmarish at times.
I believe this model is prone to producing repeated mini-traumas.
