When I stopped going weekly, my T and I found that 50 minutes didn't work well, so he suggested we do 90 minute sessions. They really helped a lot. I think a longer session if you aren't going weekly can be a big help. Recently, I've changed from 90 minutes every 3-4 weeks to 50 minutes every 2 weeks. It's tough to go back to shorter sessions but I'm trying to make it work because of the cost. The yearly cost of 50 min sessions every 2 weeks is exactly the same as 90 min sessions every 3 weeks (by my T's rates). But right now I need to go more frequently.

Lycanthrope, would you be able to afford the longer sessions if you went less frequently? It might be worth it. Or has your T already said she won't do it under any circumstances?
