Sometimes therapy gets rolling too fast, and things are uncovered and too raw to do much with...and the patient is reeling from the exposure... then the next several weeks or sessions are spent trying to restabilize the patient rather than progressing on track. That therapy time is lost doing something important (stabilizing) but if the original pace had been slower, then breakage would never have occurred or not been so violent at least, and could have been handled in the normal week to week therapy (that's normal progress.) This is what I meant by going slower is often faster in the long run.
