My T's willingness to see me more often helped a lot. Then one time I asked for an extra session and he didn't have any free. I briefly freaked out... then he contacted me to say he had an opening and I actually turned it down as it wasn't convenient for me (genuinely wasn't, I wasn't just being petulant). It made me realise I could survive him saying no, and I could survive not getting the extra session.
