In some cases, if you've had that talk in the beginning, this is a really good time to write things down, and it's a really good time to come back in your follow-up and say, we've been doing this 6 weeks. Originally you said this, normally I do it once a week, twice a week, whatever, for 6 weeks. I should see something in these areas change. I'm not noticing anything. Now, the person you're working with who is providing the therapy might say a number of things. Yes, you're one of those people. I think it's going to take more time, or I think this is the wrong therapy for you and we should move on, etc. So the first thing is be informed on the front end of what you should expect. And the second thing is feedback with the person providing the therapy so you know if you're on track or if it's the wrong therapy for you.
