Our experience of time is important for the quality of our life. Some psychological disorders, in their various forms, can be peculiar in that time is experienced as repetition. In contrast, in a healthy life, the future is viewed as something new and different from the present and the past. In successful psychotherapy, the patient changes their experience of time, which can be seen as an important sign of the therapy’s effectiveness. In this article, the author reflects on the value of repetition, which is generally regressive, although it may also be a repeated fight against an obstacle in an effort to overcome it. Reference is made to Eric Berne and to Robert and Mary Goulding and also to the author’s clinical work in order to highlight therapeutic interventions that may enable a change in how time is experienced in psychotherapy
