I love this Movie, but to 'Heal' after 6 Weeks of Therapy?

I totally Loved Prince of Tides! It is still one of my All time Favorites! It isn't easy to find fault with this Movie, because I like it so much. Unfortunately it has always bothered me that Tom was "Cured" after only 6 weeks of Therapy. I came from a very similiar sexual abusive, and violent background which I believed for along time didn't affect me. When it finally did come to the surface, it took alot longer than 6 weeks for me to find my "road" again.
Also, I admire children who do band together, like the kids in POT, but I don't believe this is common. I can reach out to my brothers and sisters now but as children we all were using everything we had to survive ourselves that we had nothing to give each other.
What does everyone else think?
