ADVICE WARNING:
Based on these two posts, I'd say go to him and be frank about it... I pay for the sessions out of my pocket, my sole goal is to keep receiving a prescription for a medication that seems to help me. What is the best way to achieve my goal without wasteful spending on excessive sessions?
