There are times I wish I could see my T twice a week - but my main issue with that is cost as I pay out of pocket. During times I've really struggled I have paid for the occasional extra session.. and felt better for it... but my T is good with me in that she'll talk to me over the phone when she can if I need it, and email some, therefore reducing the need for extra sessions somewhat.
I'm not sure it would make me more dependent, I think if I saw her twice a week in session I wouldn't need to contact her outside of that. I feel it would help more with continuity and that I wouldn't be left 'hanging' from one week to the next.
But, my T is one for saying that most of 'the work' happens between sessions, and that there needs to be time to process... so I'm not sure she'd be for more than one session a week on a more regular basis even if I could afford it. And I wouldn't want to do it all the time - I think there would be times I'd be stuck for things to say or talk about.
