During a particularly difficult stretch I saw my T twice a week for a few months. I know what it's like to feel too needy (and part of that is because of experiences from childhood and growing up where I was taught to be "self-reliant"). The fact is, mental illness, just like a physical illness, can require differing levels of care at certain points in the journey.

With my T, when I checked the facts, I realized that he's being paid for a service that he willingly offers (to sit in his chair and listen to me for an hour). Even if everyone else only needs one session, they are also only paying for one session. If I come in for two, he's being paid for his time.

I know for some people thinking too much about the fact that a T is paid is uncomfortable, but for me, that is a freeing reality. So that's to say, I don't know if that would help you exactly but it might?
