Thanks so much for all your replies.

Oddly enough, I had considered seeing if I could change to coming every week (that way we would more easily have more time to dig deeper and not fill all the time with daily life talk), thinking that if I asked to come weekly then maybe I might be able to at least get in every two weeks! Since, as it is, I average every 2.5 weeks. The thing is, we recently changed our insurance and are now paying out of pocket. And, while we can afford to pay for twice a month, I don't think we could do 4 times a month.

So, as beneficial as it would be, I don't think I can do every week. I don't think we can afford it.

Perhaps I will try seeing if I can schedule more appointments in advance.. It's not that the things we talk about are not important, they are. I just don't feel like there is really anything I can do to 'fix' them, so I don't see much point in spending so much time talking about them.

I've only seen her about a dozen times, too.. so maybe she is trying to make sure I am more stable with my daily life and stress before we really start working on hard stuff?
