If I'm reading your post correctly, I think it's interesting that this T originally indicated that he was open to meeting with you once a week, and then he seemed to change his mind. I'm wondering if when you began therapy with him and began to discuss the difficulties you experienced with your previous T, he changed directions. I wonder this because there is a therapeutic approach that some T follow regarding people "they" deem as having significant attachment issues. I know that things were pretty rocky between you and your previous T, and he really caused you some significant pain and anguish with his inconsistent and poor therapeutic approach. Some Ts think that they can avoid over attachment with clients by scheduling appointments on a every other week schedule. Personally, I think that's ridiculous and too authoritative on a T's part. I'm not saying that this is his reason for keeping you to this schedule but it's a possibility. If this is his reason, he should man up and talk about why he thinks this is a better schedule for you and then spend some time talking with you and finding out why you aren't on board with that approach. I hate when T just make a decision and never talk about it with the person who is paying them for their SERVICE! I'm sorry this hasn't worked out for you, especially since I know from your posts that you were really hurt by your previous T's failures.
