I saw my T 1x per week but for 2 sessions-worth :-) I liked that much better than 2x per as I could "get going" well and continue before the session ended with more time.

Maybe it's just the change from what you were use to. I remember my T, when I first saw her wanted 2x a week which I'd never heard of (back in the 1970s) and I think near the end she changed it to only 1x a week (hard to remember that far back :-) But this last 9 years, 96-05 we did the 2 sessions at once, 100 minute thing.

You could be "punishing" him, not allowing him to hear your dulcet-toned voice :-) because he didn't have more time available for you when you had time available.
