HGI Practice Research Network
The HGI Practice Research Network monitors, on an ongoing basis, results submitted by HG therapists. To date, these indicate that, where clients choose to remain in treatment to an agreed ending, they typically stay in therapy with HG therapists for an average of just four sessions and that 90 per cent of our clients see their HG therapist for six visits or fewer.
Clearly this means that, as well as being highly beneficial for our clients, the HG approach has the potential to save huge amounts of money for resource-starved organisations. The continuing emphasis on building a formal research base (such as within PTSD Resolution, the charity for veterans and their families which refers clients only to HG therapists) is helping the HG approach to become even more widely known and available to the people that need it.
