I'm positive this has been addressed before, but my take on it may be a little different.

I have been seeing my therapist for almost two years. For about six months, I saw him weekly, but for most of the time, I have only been seeing him 1-2 times a month. He is excellent at his job, and his evening appointments fill up several months in advance.

I tried to take a break from seeing him this summer (for about four months), and while I WANTED to be able to let him go, I'm just not there yet. I'm really struggling to get through the days, and he's a bright spot for me.

I'm currently scheduled to see my T once a month, but I'm at a point where I should probably be seeing someone weekly. Do I try someone else who has more availability and continue to see him monthly, or do I just try to be content with one time a month?

I am not comfortable asking my T for more appointments - I'm already too attached to him as it is, but that attachment is helping me cope in a huge way.

If this is at all helpful, this is what I'm trying to cope with: I fell in love with my husband mainly over email, and we've been struggling in our marriage for many years now. He was recently diagnosed with Asperger's, and we have a bunch of little kids (some with ASD-like qualities), and I don't have any family members who can be an emotional support for me.
