When I started therapy, I was going once a week, 50 minute sessions. I felt very pressured to try to make the most of that 50 minutes per week, and it stressed me out. I was barely clearing my throat. It didn't help that when I was in there, that 50 minutes seemed to go by like it was only 15. After 6 weeks, she bumped me up to twice a week (mid July or so) and I've been at twice a week ever since. That has been perfect for me, Mondays and Thursdays are just perfect. I'm struggling lately...especially having a hard time talking, and even though sometimes my sessions seem like such a waste of time for both of us, twice a week really couldn't be more perfect. That's twice a week I have to commit myself to go in even if I don't feel like it (and that's how I've felt lately), so it's helpful for me to see that I have something I need to really push myself to do. I'm not all that highly functioning at home right now, so at least I can be proud that I went, even though everything in me wanted to just stay home.

So, from someone who goes twice a week, I can tell you I can't see going every other week, especially with the issues you're dealing with. That just doesn't seem reasonable. Hopefully something will work out....you need to get in more often than that.
