The period that is allocated to the development of certain activities is called a session. For example: a photo session.
From the Latin sessio , a session is a time period occupied by a certain activity . This means that, during a given session, a defined series of tasks are carried out. For example: "Once a week I have a kinesiology session as part of my rehabilitation exercises," "This work session has already been going on for three hours and we haven't covered the most important topics yet."
Another use of the term is linked to the meetings of a congress or another corporation : "The deputies will debate the Telefónica case in the next session" , "The session had to adjourn due to the lack of quorum" , "The senator did not ask for the word throughout the session despite being the main person responsible for the project .
Session as consultation or function
The consultation between several specialists to determine something or make a resolution is also known as a session: "We are going to call a session to analyze the case."
Session is, on the other hand, each of the film or theater performances that take place on the same day but at different times. In this case, the notion is used as a synonym for performance: "I'm going to buy tickets for the third performance so we can have dinner before going to the theater."
A session may be the meeting of a congress or other corporation.
The term in computing
In the field of computing , the duration of a connection to a certain system or network is known as a session. The computing session usually includes the exchange of information packets between a user and a server . It is common for the user to enter a username and password to start a session, in a procedure known as log in .
The sessions that are established when entering a website have different characteristics, which respond to the needs of the designers and the type of audience to which the project is oriented. One of the possibilities is to start a session by entering a username and password and allowing it to persist until the individual decides when to end it, which can take place between the start time and a deadline (which can be last from minutes to months, or years), established by the developers, regardless of the number of times you enter and leave the site.
This practice is not very safe , since a computer is not always used by the same person; Although each user should be responsible for the security of the devices they use to connect to the Internet, especially if they exchange sensitive information, most companies seek to create a model that protects their followers as if they were small children, thus avoiding potential litigation against common crimes of today, such as identity theft.
Session protection
Bank pages, for example, usually have sessions that expire after a few minutes of inactivity, thus seeking to prevent the manipulation of other people's accounts. In many cases, users are given the ability to adjust the length of their sessions, and even the option to remove the limit.
Another very common measure to ensure the privacy of Internet users is to request log in more than once during a delicate operation, such as a transaction.
The concept in psychoanalysis
A psychoanalysis session , finally, is a meeting of a certain duration (generally, between 45 and 60 minutes) in which a therapist and one or more people participate who seek to resolve certain problems or concerns that do not allow them to live fully.
The reasons that can lead an individual to undergo therapy are many and are linked to their intimacy, their deepest emotions. The most common tendency on the part of professionals is to guide their patients to draw their own conclusions and find themselves the answers they are looking for.
