Grrr. It sounds so insecure for you right now. I'm so sorry.
Ask him if this is about insurance or about what he thinks is the right thing to do therapeutically. Tell him what you want. If you want twice a week then tell him. It may not work out that way but I believe stating your needs is more important in the long run.
Also, if it is about insurance, as they not only set the limits about how many visits they will allow, they also determine the type of therapy since they tend to limit providers to those who do short term therapy, and they decide on the frequency as well by approving or not approving a proposed treatment plan. If it is about insurance, can you see him on your own without the insurance being involved? Ask what he would charge you as a cash customer; often the fees are reduced because paperwork, claim filing, delay in getting paid, excessive record keeping, etc are eliminated when insurance is not involved.
Whatever your thoughts about this are, go and tell him and be completely honest about what you think and what you want. It is that emotional honesty we are striving to learn and practice there.
I'm sorry you're sad and frustrated and maybe feeling some abandonment as well? It sounds unresolved in your mind and that can be so uncomfortable, frustrating, hurtful.
