Treatment Trajectory
Outlined below is an example of a typical treatment trajectory. Some people need more time to prepare for a medicine session to build trust with their counsellor, to unpack emotional or mental context or to allow for more time to organize life and obligations to allow for the best possible integration. The medicine begins when the client engages with the process at all; your therapy and healing will unfold at its own pace.
