I saw my therapist today, and at the end of the session, I asked if we can book 2 weeks from now and if we can do therapy once every 2 weeks, instead of weekly. Money has been an issue, which is one reason I want to go biweekly, along with the fact I feel it's no longer necessary to go weekly. I thought she saw it coming that I might request every two weeks since there was another time recently where I told her I wanted to schedule in 2 weeks, and she said it would be fine.

Well, at the end of today, her response was slightly different than expected. At the end of our session, I asked if I can start coming every other week. She said it would be okay, but this would mean no more "deep work" in therapy. It would only be "for support." I was a little surprised by this. I can understand that going more than 2 weeks would make it difficult to work on skills and deep stuff, but I didn't think 2 weeks would make a difference in the "type" of therapy.

I almost took it as if she would not do as high quality work with me in therapy by going every 2 weeks. Then, part of me wonders, is she doing this to tempt me to "upgrade" to weekly since she is looking to earn a living? I'm just wondering what your reaction to this would be and how would you interpret this? I am also wondering if finding a different therapist would provide me with better quality care since this makes me feel like it will be a downgrade in services.
