Peaches- I used to go to dt twice/week. I liked being able to process sessions better and there was so much more I could go into with more frequent sessions. But it became unaffordable for me to do that.

When I changed to ftt, I go once/week and with our finances as they are, it is what I can do. I miss twice/week. I know Id be better off going twice/week, but there really is enough continuity and processing that goes on for me to go every week instead of twice/week. I get 60 vistis/year, which means I DO get some months with twice/week. I can do this. I have found other ways to process the sessions. And I know I can call even if I dont.

I think that whatever the frequency of sessions, we find ways to do what we need to do. I have been journaling and reading an Irvin Yalom book. I see myself in the book and I write things down to bring into session. I suppose I am seeing what I am open to seeing, so in a way, its more therapy for me. And can give my session more direction.

I thought what Sunny suggested was very good, not having the hospital do the billing if at all possible. Then you could keep your co-pay at $40.
