My T. has said several times that I need to just come once a week. My brother is a clinical psychologist and said the same. My T. explained that we do most of the processing outside of our sessions and our brains need the time for the processing to occur. For example, I usually go on Mondays. I went yesterday instead and will go again this Monday. While I LOVE that I will see her soon, I also am not near as motivated to think/work on stuff knowing I'm getting ready to see her.

The absense, the intense longings, missing her, etc makes the emotions come to the surface so I can journal them, think about them, etc. While I would JUMP at the chance for 2x week sessions, I think in the long run I may agree with my T. and brother. I did tell her we could do weekly sessions and then she could come to my house the other time for wine.

I also don't have email or text contact in between. But, I know that if I was absolutely miserable and unable to function, she would give me extra time.

Honestly, I can't believe I just wrote all of that since deep down I could live with her. I guess my adult self was writing and not my inner child.
