Pinksoil,
my friend tell me this all the time: she feels she needs to see t twice a week and she doesn't understand why t doesn't offer it!
T realizes she's overwhelmed and t tells her to take meds to help calm herself.
So she tells t, that when she has the support she needs she does a lot better.
At which point she expects t to say, alright so let's schedule twice weekly sessions....

The way I handled it was, I said to t, ''I feel I need to see you twice a week, however it is not possible for me to pay for two sessions. Can we work something out?" She so generously worked out an affordable plan and I got to see her twice a week, oh what a difference it made!

And sorry about your deleted post, it's happened to me too, oh how frustrating!
