I always wished I could have more than 50 or 60 minute sessions, and it was a sort of fantasy but also a real need. When I asked my T and she agreed to 90 minutes, I was in shock. I still am. It's the best gift (though I pay more for it) that she ever could give me. poetgirl, I don't think it's a selfish wish. Some of us process things more slowly, and need the time. I used to feel SO frustrated with my former T after 50 minutes! I hated it. I was never ready to leave. It's different now, with more time. I don't think 50 minutes is long enough, though I know the reason. An hour is considered enough, but the T needs time in between. But 50 minutes is NOT enough, in my opinion. Sorry for going off topic, but I feel strongly about this subject!!!
