What’s the Difference Between Talking to a Friend and Talking to a Therapist?

When life gets difficult many of us instinctively turn to a trusted friend or family member for support. It's comforting to have someone who knows us, cares about us, and can lend an ear when we need to vent. And often that is enough, we don’t need to talk to anyone else. But sometimes, we need more support than our friend is able to provide, and we need someone with additional training and experience to help us cope with the difficulties we are facing. That’s when you may want to talk to a therapist.

How long do I need to stay in therapy?

If you’ve ever considered starting therapy or are currently in treatment, you might wonder: How long do I need to stay in therapy? This question is common and valid, as people often have personal, financial, and logistical factors to consider. There isn’t a simple answer; everyone is different, and while some people may stay in therapy long term, others may only need a few sessions; therapy is as unique as the individuals who seek it. 

How can I get the most out of therapy?

Therapy is a deeply personal journey and a powerful tool for self-improvement, healing, and growth. With countless therapeutic approaches available—ranging from the structured techniques of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to the deep exploration of psychodynamic therapy—sessions can vary significantly.
