English term or phrase: for another two weeks

Hello everyone,

Sue contacted me because she wanted to find a partner. She felt lonely, depressed,
and very fearful that she would never find someone. We first worked on her fear,
which she successfully decreased with the help of a healing symbol. Sue still felt
depressed and lonely, however. Therefore, her next symbol focused on her depression and her negative self-talk—”It’s just not meant to be” or “It’s hopeless.” After practicing her new healing symbol ***for another two weeks***, Sue told me that she was able to stop her negative self-talk, and that she felt altogether more positive and trusting. Simultaneously, she went on many blind dates. In the past, she had found blind dates depressing and exhausting, but now she saw them as positive learning experiences. When I last spoke to her, all her depression and fear were gone and her loneliness had been replaced with a faith that she would soon find

Does "for another two weeks" imply that Sue worked with her next healing symbol for four weeks (two weeks and then another two weeks) or does it imly that she worked two weeks with a healing symbol and then two weeks with the next healing symbol?

Thank you.

Selected answer:for two more weeks

Explanation:
It means she practiced her new healing symbol for two more weeks. It is not totally clear to me when these two more weeks started, but I think it means for two weeks after resolving the problem of her fear with the help of the author and starting to concentrate on her next symbol of depression and negative self-talk.
