How long are your sessions?

I do 90 minutes once a week. My T has said that in her specialization having that extra half hour is very beneficial and I've personally found it to be true.

Depends on when we actually start and end. Sometimes I come in late and he's just waiting for me or I'm waiting for him because a client is running a little long. I would say, on average, it's 50-60 minutes though.

90 minutes might be nice once in a while. There have definitely been a few times I felt like we've ended things mid-thought. But, at the same time, there are probably more times when 60 minutes is about right or maybe even a little long, especially when he's quizzing me about whether I've done stuff he's asked me to work on

I've done 90-minute sessions in the past with my ex-therapist...it was very helpful for me. I would love to do 90-minute sessions with C. Perhaps that'll be a step I'll take when I drop down to 1x per week (ask for one 90-min session).

I see C for 50 minutes twice per week.

I can't even imagine four times a week, both the actual work and trying to schedule that

I forgot to mention my session is once a month. Sometimes I wish it were more frequent like with my former T, but then again, I don't know that this T is helping so much so maybe it's for the best. Kit.

Yeah, when my T proposed this setting I couldn't imagine it either. But I decided to try and now it is organically part of my everyday life. I have always had quite flexible schedule so it has been possible to schedule these sessions. Nowadays all my sessions are in the early morning which suits me well and does not interfere with other stuff in my life.

Mine were 50-60 minutes, usually 60 most of the past year. I would have loved 90 minutes even asked one time if she'd consider it as a one time thing and she said we could talk about it but we never did.

With first T strictly 45 mins. With second T, typically somewhere between 50-60 mins - I did not watch the time and he was never rigid about timing the session and just charged the same fee for a regular session. Usually I just stayed as long as he wanted the session to go and usually we naturally wrapped up after max an hour. I was fine with both the strict timing and the looser one. Most of the time I would have liked to continue but I had things to do as well and it's not like it was painful to leave.

as long as they need to be. we dont have a time limit

50-60mins long once a month right now

Almost 2 hours or a bit over that, every time. It helped being last

60 minits.

well... maybe about 75 once I've finished saying everything I need to

I often say too much and go over 60, and even though the therapist tells me the 60 minits are up she does let me continue to talk about something (if it's quick and won't take all day)

IIRC your T is also a professor. Given university schedules it might be easier for him to find 60-minute blocks of time than it would be to find 90 minutes.

My sessions are 50 minutes long, twice a week.

I thought about that too. I’m seeing him in two hours so hopefully we Can chat about it and find a solution. I just need more than I’m getting. I would prefer 2x60 mins... but I’ll do whatever is easier for him.

The first 4 years I knew t we were in a residential treatment center where he was my therapist

The Tx center was progressive, and some staff lived on campus . It was a 'healing community'

So naturally T and I talked every day, I saw him twice a week for 50-90 min sessions, but he was pretty much there from 8-5 every day..even holidays

After t left the program I saw him for 50 minutes twice a week. This continued for 3 years

Last year we went down to once a week for 50 minutes which is what it currently is...although I miss weeks here and there...

My sessions are usually 50 mins. We might go over a min or two, but not by much.

An hour. Sometimes she seems like she doesnt want to be in session that long though.

45 minutes, 3/week. Occasionally we go over by a few minutes. Lately we've been doing a fairly regular 10 minute phone check-in on Sunday morning (which I pay for).

He said no to 90 minute sessions . But I’m gonna work on him - he said mainly because of the time we meet. I’d be willing to change the time if it meant longer sessions. I’ll work on him next week tho.

What did you pay for? Just wondering if this is an example of his flexible boundaries so only answer if you wish, no worries.

60 minutes, but he sometimes goes over, but not often or by much (sigh)

Typically 50-60 minutes. She usually sets a timer, but lets things wrap up naturally. Occasionally, especially around a year ago, we'd go over the hour by 15-20 minutes, but that was only if we were in the middle of something pretty challenging.

Usually there is not a client scheduled immediately after me and I allow myself some post-therapy to real life transition time in my schedule, so we've both got some time to be a little flexible with time.

45-50 minutes

My current T started off once a week in The summer when we started. Then after I ended up in the hospital for SH he asked if I wanted to up it to 2x. We were doing that until October because I also had an EMDR T that I was seeing 1x a week. Now that ended I've been going 3x a week for 50 minutes. He's always on time, practically to the minute, and ends on time, give or take a few minutes. At the beginning of the month he offered me to come in a 4th time one week but that's the only time he's offered that.

about 55 minutes - 2x week
