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….

Depends where you're at with yourself. May I suggest you consider writing down what you wanna say before you go?. It'll help a lot.

I've been to therapy where I wasn't in the right mindset to make good progress, bit I went back at 29 and made significant progress as I put lots of work into it and I know what questions to ask of myself, I was ready to confront certain things.

It's different for everyone though
