How long did it take for therapy to work for you?

Currently going through a phase that refuses to go. Haven’t had success with therapy in the past, wanted to understand if I am the only one.

3-6 months

Took me 6 months of binge drinking and then realising it one day, seeing the drunk-barfing-face in the mirror.

I haven’t had any success either. It usually depends on the therapist as well as oneself. It usually takes the therapist to help you understand the root cause of your problems in 3-4 months, but if that isn’t happening, then the chances of recovery are slim and it’s better to try a different therapist.
