I really really understand NOT wanting to ask for additional appointments. I often find myself thinking that asking for additional appointments is a sign of neediness, weakness and that sucking it up, soldiering on, will be the better path, but what I have FOUND is that it's not. In fact, sucking it up has not worked for me. If that was going to work, it would have worked already!

Asking for what I need has been a very very big part of the healing process for me. Like a huge part of it -- perhaps even as big a part of the healing as the rest of the healing.

I tend to turn inward and the problem with that strategy is that it leads to more of the same. The same self recriminations, the same self sacrifice, the same self mutilation. The same pathway, which for me, has not led in particularly pretty directions. So, I need to reach out. Which is what this forum has been for me, at least.

Two times a week, from my perspective, seems like a good idea. Only you know, of course.
