If money/NHS constraints were no object, would you want to receive open-ended therapy and/or be able to provide this for your patients?
Is there a need for a patient to be incentivised to embrace therapy? Is this a way it could - or should - be done? Is it ethical?

I agree, therapy isn't magic, and it has to be taken one step at a time at the pace comfortable for the survivor. #MHTchat #Mentalhealth

I agree, therapy unlike other medical. practices is unpredictable hence the role of an empathetic therapist is prime. #MHTchat #Mentalhealth

When I've gone to therapy, I was in pain and just want the pain to end. I hoped the therapist could offer tools for that. Sometimes it worked and other times I left feeling worse. A good therapist is worth her weight in gold. #MHTchat

Do we often know what we want to get out of therapy from the outset or do our expectations and goals change over its course?

A typical question in Single Session Therapy might be: “If we were only going to meet for one session, what problem would you want to focus on?”
In what ways could this question be helpful in all therapy, not just SST?

Is length of time needed in therapy partly determined by "how much work they [the patient] are willing to put in"?
Karen Manton believes this to be true for her: mentalhealthtoday.co.uk/blog…

There is no real benefit to this in my opinion. I always tell my clients let’s take it one session at a time. The rapport building process could take several months and it’s up to the actual person how much work they are willing to put in that determines their length of Tx.

Even when I offer psychological first aid I tell the person seeking help that each condition and its manifestation is unique in each survivor, so nobody must be judged by someone else as a scale, there are no blueprints. #MHTchat

Have you been told “how long” you need in therapy?
Or, do you discuss this with patients?
If so, what did you make of being told this or having to tell someone this?

Forever - and that’s a good thing! I have been with my therapist for over 10years. The frequency ebbs and flows as needed but she is always there for me. She knows me, keep me accountable & reminds me of how far I’ve come. We use DBT and my favorite tool is Ride the Wave #MHTchat
