Just to clarify -- I think the post below is actually directed to sunrise rather than to me.

Sidony, given the fact that you have a need for more frequent sessions I would definitely advise you to ask for it straight out. That your t's schedule is filled to capacity is not of your concern. Really. You are not here to take care of your t, you are here to get your needs met. And you are paying for it. Your t needs to know that you want more sessions. The last I've heard, t's aren't trained to read minds....
I recall the time I called my t and said that I am finding it so helpful to be seeing her once a week and I feel I need to see her twice a week, and would she be able to work out something financially doable for me. She was so glad to accommodate me and I sure was glad I asked for what I needed.
We whose lives have been touched by trauma and want to heal and move on may not be able to do it on a 50-minute hour once a week.
If you are afraid of rejection you can say something like, ''I want to ask you for something yet I am so afraid of being rejected.....'' Somehow, I find it helpful to express my fear and then go ahead and ask for whatever it is I want to ask for.
Please report back to us, we want to know what happens...
Take care,
