That's sad, about public funding.
After twelve sessions I had just barely begun to replace my somewhat dysfunctional methods of coping with really dysfunctional ones. :)
If therapy clients are like ogres, or onions, or cakes, then I fervently believe that therapy is like whack the mole. My OCD and panic weren't pleasant, but when they were tamed with breathing and lovely cognitive restructuring, all the hideous inner layers that they effectively hid became more obvious. Overall, if I didn't have time to uncover layer after layer of ogre, or cake, I'd have been better off uncovering none at all. Which would have meant that for me the optimum length of therapy for OCD and panic would be exactly zero sessions.
