I found twice weekly appointments useful for going more in-depth. I would say I'm making more than twice the amount of progress by going twice as often as I was before. I feel much more comfortable with my therapist this way (even though we already had a good relationship to begin with) and find it easier to open up to her. I am less likely to be struggling with daily life things at any given session, which means I generally feel stable enough to go into things from the past or things happening inside of me. Plus I don't have the stress of having to wait a whole week if something specific is bothering me.

It is definitely more intense, but I think that's a necessary part of going deeper however you manage to do it. I do feel more attached to my T, but neither she nor I think that's a bad thing in and of itself. She is of a school of thought that it's okay for me to lean on her a bit until I grow to where I won't need her anymore. Lately I tend to agree that that's likely to happen because I can tell that I'm getting stronger and healthier.
Thanks for this!
