This would be a seperate issue from the different types of therapy or having proper therapists that knows what the heck they are doing.

I have no idea.
If we assume 112 waking hours per week, even 4 therapy sessions per week means the client is with the therapist only 3.5% of the time. From what I've seen, many people spend the other 96-99% of the time fixated on therapy, which seems to indicate a problem.
I found that increasing to 2x per week solved nothing. It wasn't the frequency of sessions or the nature or frequency of outside contact. It was trying to have some sort of emotional relationship based on distance (plus all the other problems).
