Rose's reply is really good! I agree that your T is just trying to be cautious and that is a sign of caring.
With the exception of the 5 months my T had cancer and chemo, I've been allowed to decide how often I go. In the beginning, I did a weird schedule, going 2 consecutive weeks, then skip a week, then go for a week, then skip a week, then 2 consecutive weeks, etc. During the cancer ordeal, she had to take 6 weeks off for surgery, then she could only see patients about once every 3 weeks during chemo. Once I got serious and that was over, I started going once a week. Then I was going twice a week every other week. Now I'm pretty much once a week, but I had an extra emergency session last week. Since I was dealing with extra life issues, she told me that I could either come regularly, more frequently (because talking about the current issues could be cathartic), or less frequently (if I needed to handle the current issues instead of worrying about learning skills or dealing with trauma).
Just talk to your T about it. He's probably not going to make a big deal about it. I have a feeling he wants to make sure you are okay before doing it. Find out if you would be able to get an appointment on an "off" week if you need it. I hope it works out for you!
