I do understand that the Swede mindset is different from the American. I know how difficult it would be to express your need or private desire for free sessions.

I do not know how the Therapist views it though, in Sweden--so I cannot advise that way.

Here in America, many people feel they are entitled to therapy sessions if they want or need them, and while their mental illness may cause issues often they can and do ask for some pro bono work.

Asking for additional therapy sessions is a compliment here, in a way, because you trust the T and think the T can still help you.

I would have to believe though, in either country, the therapist went into that profession because of their desire to make a difference in other people's lives. If you approach the T professionally it may cause a good conversation and possible good solution to your dilemma. (Here in USA a T will often give a consult over the phone without charge...a few minutes to discuss just such an issue, especially if they had already seen you in session.)

Good wishes.
