Yes, it helped me with exactly what you describe - I didn't have to spend 20 minutes settling in and 10 minutes closing up.
That said, it also intensifies things a lot. So, it's kind of a double edged sword. For me, I have a hard time "closing up" now between sessions, so things between sessions are actually more difficult, but I still have trouble starting...
Also, my T made an arrangement so that it wasn't paying double the cost. Nooo way I could've afforded that. It was kind of more prorated and then split into two. I pay out of pocket.

I still find it hard to settle into the sessions and the 2 days after feel like there is so much more I could have shared with T in the last session. But by the time the next one comes around again, it feels like I need time to settle again.
I just wondered if anyone has experienced greater progress when going twice per week. I feel safe between sessions so don't feel I need to go more often from that perspective, but just I may feel a greater connection and be able to move on more easily.
However I am concerned that if I up it to 2 sessions, that I may then find it really difficult to drop to 1 again - I pay for myself and could not afford 2 sessions for more than a couple of months.
