How long does it take for therapy to work?

I know it’s going to take awhile and I need to be patient with myself but I really want to to know how long it takes. I’m sure it depends on the person but I just noticed how bad my social skills are and makes me want to become a recluse. I know what I want to say but can’t find the words but typing it out like this, i’m fine. It’s driving me crazy….

It’s the work a person puts into the tools they learn in therapy that determines the progress. There isn’t a “fixed by” date unfortunately. It isn’t like an aspirin that gets rid of a headache in an hour.

Trust me when I say that I understand the frustration though. And I’m sorry you are struggling.
