I went to therapy twice (and eventually increased to three times) per week for about a year. It definitely increased the intensity of the therapy quite a bit. It didn’t work out well for me, as I developed a severe attachment/had transference issues with that therapist because of it. I started to feel like I needed her all of the time to even function and it was unbearable the days I didn’t have therapy. I ended up in the hospital for the first time due to our therapy going south and then was in and out of the hospital for months.

I really don’t want to scare you though...that’s just my personal experience with it, yours could be different. My therapist was also very unskilled and unable to deal with the transference and countertransfefence that was occurring. If your therapist is more skilled and can actually use more frequent therapy as a tool to better help you, I still say it’s worth a shot to see. If you start feeling too dependent on therapy or like things are too intense, you could always dial it back down.

Definitely a good idea to talk with him about it though! Good luck! 😊
