The duration of the therapeutic process does not exist a number of sessions determined, each person is unique and different. This causes that each person reacts and acts of different form during psycotherapy. Also, he is determining to indicate the number of sessions, the kind of problem that lasts the patient, the gravity and its. Normally once the evaluation of the patient has been realised and a diagnosis has become, an approximated indication of the number of sessions can be given that could be necessary to overcome the problem.
The sessions are weekly: A session to the week of one hour approximately of duration. As the patient is felt better and acquiring abilities, the sessions go of weekly to biweekly (a session every fifteen days) and of biweekly to monthly (a session to the month). This is the dynamics that usually is used normally. The attitude of the patient with the psychologist Is fundamental that the patient adopts a positive attitude and activates during the psycotherapy. One is not to accept everything what the psychologist says. One either is not to reject it immediately.

The patient must realize that during the therapy she must work along with the psychologist the problems that present/display. The psychologist is going to send a series to him of tasks that he will have to realise during the week based on the therapeutic objectives that both have been marked in the development of the sessions. One is not to sit down in a chair to listen the psychologist and who the problems are solved single. The magic for these things does not serve. What serves is the work, the will and the certainty.
