HOW LONG DOES THE THERAPY PROCESS USUALLY LAST?
The duration time depends on many factors and is never predictable for sure. Once we begin the therapy process, an approximate time frame can be estimated based on the agreed objectives. But as I always tell my clients, it depends on their commitment to therapy, their motivation when carrying out the proposed tasks, and the priority they give to the therapeutic process.
In my opinion, the development of therapy is guided between client and psychologist.
WHAT TYPE OF PROFESSIONAL SECRET MUST THE PSYCHOLOGIST FOLLOW?
Psychologists are required by law and by our Code of Ethics, to maintain professional secrecy and, therefore, to offer a total and absolute guarantee of confidentiality, as well as security in the handling of information.
Likewise, before starting a therapy process, we will sign an informed consent.
