Would you rather go into the depths, or stay nearer the surface?
This is a matter of preference. On the one hand, just because you have an issue you want to tackle, and it runs quite deep, it doesn’t mean you need to sign up for years of soul searching. On the other hand, if something runs that deeply, then there is potentially a huge amount of benefit to be gained from going into things as deeply as possible, and that will take time.
As my gestalt trainer used to say, ‘you can do therapy with whatever time you have available’. The trick is to guage what can be done given the time available.
