OK, so I've seen some good reasons here why sessions are not longer than 1 hour. But why not one hour sessions more than once a week? I know a few of us have them, but why is this not more common if the client could benefit and pay? I am so motivated to make progress. And I am willing to pay. I wish I could see my T twice a week. I'm not wanting the two sessions out of obsessive attachment--I'm past that. I just need to get my goal done. I have my session tomorrow and once again I have this huge amount of stuff to cover, and I just feel it's hopeless. I guess we'll go over the legal stuff. Sigh. Forget the really disturbing SI fantasy (see that other thread I started). Forget my feelings. Forget my fear. That stuff has to take back seat. Just stuff it all inside of me again. Where does it go? Who knows. I hate this. It was so satisfying to have my lawyer willing to spend the time with me to get through what I needed to get through. (Seeing my lawyer was almost more therapeutic than seeing my T.)

As with you, my T works on a sliding scale, not insurance-

Just an aside, pinksoil, but no, my T does not work on sliding scale. That's great yours does this.

sky, homework results and homework giving? Wow, I think my therapy is different from yours! I do agree with you that much of therapy is done outside of the session. I guess I just need my T's expertise more than I have access to right now, and that's frustrating. I have tried to maximize my productive time with T. I don't spend time on superfluous stuff like IRL events (sister and baby etc.). I get right to the heart so we waste no time. I just don't think I can eliminate any more extraneous stuff from session--I've done that.

Sorry to whine on and on. Just frustrated with this, and it never changes.
