Timely topic I just posted about this indirectly in "There's something I need to tell you..." Thread. At the start of therapy 9 months ago we did twice a week because it was helpful for me to continue ideas. Then once a week for a while, but some emergecy sessions led to some twice a week and then regular twice weeklies. I took a break to once a week and shes pressing for more sessions again. I've got work and other obligations that make it impractical.

Honestly the average therapist is usually happy for more (hey it is income) and it is NOT indulgent to seek more. At the right time, frequent visits are great. You may well experience growth and strengthen the relationship in ways thar fewer visits cant do.

However it can turn into a tug-of-war with T if you arent clear from the outset that you may need revisiting the schedule question. Mine has a psychodynamic orientation so "regularity" is a big bugaboo. Hence a power struggle.

Also the increased logistics of handling your family, work AND therapeutic demands may introduce new stresses in your T relationship. Be prepared to discuss/process how adding more time for yourself has good AND bad effects. This is valid and informative for you to explore. Good luck whichever road you take there. But youre worth it Lickety!
