I say this because i know that i'd find it really hard to cope if i was seeing my therapist fortnightly too. i was struggling with seeing him weekly, even. he said to me (last year) that optimally he would see me twice a week, though, and he said that another appt. time might come up this year. that helped give me the courage to broach the issue with him. part of why i was so embarrassed to ask is that he is offering me sliding scale rates. i know he gets a lot more in the hand if he sees other clients and i know he has no shortage of other clients to see. we managed a comprimise with the additional timeslot, however. i get it every fortnight on the sliding scale rate.

it is worth asking... worst that could happen would be that she would say that she was unable to do that. best case... it might eliminate the build up. i get a build up the night before... and lots of build up when i'm on my way there. takes me a day to wind down afterwards as well. 4 days of build up, though... that would be really hard to deal with. hang in there.
