4. Does it feel like enough, or will it never feel like enough?
5. Your general experiences of continuity
6. How does it affect the rest of your life during the week?
Thank you!

1. My insurance covered it and I paid 2 co-pays, depending on your OOP cost perhaps a policy would be cheaper.
2. I usually went on lunch breaks or would work through lunch and leave early to catch the last appointment they offered at night. The lunch times I reserved for discussing less severe issues, so I wasn't a hot mess coming back to work.
3. I went 2 times a week about 70 percent of my 2 years
4, 5 and 6 . Two times was sometimes too much, as it helped me to keep the connection but also left me very therapy focused, to the point of obsession and it began to affect my work, my home life and general sense of balance.
In closing, I say sometimes I needed 2 times a week , especially when I was hanging by a thread... yet when things started to equal out... I should have dropped back to 1 time a week. After all Therapy should help us to learn to eventually become therapy free and live happily and adjusted , not make us dependent on the process and too much of anything can be a bad thing.
