If even T 3 thinks you need to be seeing someone regularly, I' m a bit surprised that she isn't also encouraging you to be open to finding a therapist near your college. I went to college that distance from home, and I never went home except on major holidays because the entire weekend would have just been spent on the road. There honestly wouldn't have been time to fit in a weekend therapy appointment even if a therapist would have had weekend appointments (most don't). I only made it home Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring Break. I can't see how having any kind of continuity and consistent support from that distance would have really worked. Why not at least consider finding local therapy support on or near your campus?
