Soliaree, a few months ago I reached a point when I was seeing my T mainly every other week. I was at a time when that worked for me. It helped knowing it didn't mean termination was on the horizon, but just that at that time, that was what I needed. I was feeling pretty good (seems like ages ago now!). Now I am back to weekly, because I need more support. He lets me make the appointments and choose how often to come. If you are going to see your T weekly and you start to be really functional, not really have problems in therapy to work on each week, not enough stuff to talk about, etc., then maybe that means you can go less frequently. But if still have major problems and work you are doing in therapy each week, and are at no loss each session on what to talk about and how to advance your healing, then it seems like it is not time to go less frequently. Just ask yourself which is it for you right now and go with what you need.
