Most Rula patients report starting to feel better after just three sessions, though grief doesn't follow a predictable timeline and everyone's process looks different.

These shifts matter because they help you function at work, show up for family, and move through your community without constantly bracing for triggers. Progress isn't "getting over it," it's learning to hold grief alongside life.
