My last therapist ended up never giving me extra sessions because she felt I was too dependent on her. Honestly, I think that she knew she was in over her head with my issues and didn't want to see more than absolutely necessary. My current therapist told me immediately that if I thought it would be helpful, she could work with my insurance company to get me two sessions a week. I attend two sessions most weeks and I have not been in crisis since starting 5 months ago. With my last therapist, I felt like I was always in crisis.

I think that my twice a week sessions are what keeps me out of crisis which keeps me and therapist happy. I say call your therapist and tell him what's going on with little things falling apart. He would probably rather see you more frequently than to have yu potentially end up in a true crisis mode.

I've learned this. The support you need does not say anything about you. Asking for the support you need shows that you are strong and that you care about yourself. Would you deny yourself going to the doctor if a lot of health issues came up? Probably not. Don't deny yourself the support you need.
