(( sunny )) I'm sorry you're frustrated. Understandably frustrated!

i agree with Sky that the time is mostly set by the insurance companies. there may be standards within the profession too, but I don't know. if so, I wonder what the criteria is

i wonder if the fast pace of today's world (and our lives) makes once a week sessions too far apart and should be reconsidered.... could be an outdated practice.

in analysis a person can go twice a week or even more than that. I would love to go at least twice a week but could not afford it. i pay my T myself like you do. the session isn't long enough for me and the time between session is just too long... excrutiating... lonely...fearful...panicky...frustrating...

have you asked about having twice weekly sessions sunny? if so, what does he say about that?

i think you really HAVE to make time to talk about your SI fantasy with him. you NEED time for your stuff!! ask him to help you with getting to all the things you want to get to.

i'm glad you and your daughter had a nice trip!
