Once I went from once a week (with fairly regular extra sessions) to twice a week, I felt more able to keep a connected feeling with him. I need that feeling of connection in order to talk about hard stuff, but I'm sure other people feel differently about that. We were also able to get more done than just relating the facts of the week (I was in an abusive relationship, so a lot of time was just telling what happened that week). I started going 3x/week about 4 months ago after a traumatic event. I don't have much of a support system at this point and I need his support right now to keep myself alive. At some point I will go back to 2x/week, but not right now.
