I've been finding once a week difficult too but cannot afford to go more - can barely afford to go as it is. There was one time I really freaked out and asked for an extra session, and that was amazing, but a one off situation. I'd been finding it harder and harder to last the week - I think down to attachment now I've finally 'let her in' - but recently I've started emailing T to get some of these things out - things I couldn't say in session, things that occured to me after session, times when I feel like I need to connect... etc. It started out that I emailed her when I was upset, but she assured me that email was okay and we've gone from there - she's said she doesn't mind me emailing, and I've found it really helps me. Over the Christmas holiday (before our emailing agreement and when I didn't want to bother T) I journaled extensively - wrote down all the things I wanted to tell T about how I was feeling etc, like a 'Dear T' every day, and our first session of the new year I gave it to her to read. That helped get me through - because even though I knew it wasn't an instant connection, it made me feel better to know she would read what I was writing down.

I too feel impatient to make progress, and sometimes the weeks just seem so long and I feel like I'm wasting time, that if I could go more often I'd make progress much faster... but, I think sometimes the time in-between to process it all is useful too (Or maybe that's just what I tell myself ).
