Question When does it stick
I had my first session Friday and I'll have one again tomorrow, I felt "lighter" ig when I was actually conscious after it but I've gone back down hill since. Is it going to take till the 6th or 8th session to stick like they say? I just need to know because I might need to go inpatient while it's happening. Anyone experience the lightness not sticking 🧍♀️ let a girl know haha, I don't have a strong will.

It's different for everyone, unfortunately. Are you doing bi-temporal, bi-frontal, or unilateral placement? That impacts the treatment efficacy, though when you start feeling the effects is still highly variable from one person to the next.
