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?

1. I don't know anything about insurance as I am a minor. But I know that my insurance covered 3-4x a week sessions.
2. I don't know what you mean (your t's work schedule or yours?) i think if you really need it, both of you will be able to find a way to make it work.
3. I was in therapy 3-4x a week for over a year. I was in for very serious OCD so that may be a bit different than why you want 2x a week therapy, but I found the amount of sessions very helpful vs. the typical 1x a week. You can always try it out and then reevaluate every month of so to see if you still need it.
4. I felt like mine was never enough, but i was very attatched to my therapist. I think it will be different for everyone.
5. I don't know what you mean
6. It made my schedule busier, but it also gave me structure and helped keep me on track knowing that i only had to wait a day or two between sessions. I was also quite depressed and it gave me some hope knowing that I was getting help and that i had something to look forward to.
