I did move to 2 x a week and have been contemplating moving to 3 x a week. I found moving to 2 x a week to be very helpful in allowing me to maintain things more a float. It did open up a lot more stuff for me. I see my T on M and Th. I can make it between sessions about half the time with no contact. The Th to Monday swing is the hardest for me and I still struggle with leaving at the end of sessions. Another reason I am thinking about moving to 3 x week is some changes in my life that are putting strain in how much time I am able to explore some of my feelings. So some of the thought process behind moving to 3 times a week is to elevate the feelings I have whenever there are more than 3 days between sessions and to hopefully provide me more time in a safe space to explore the feelings that are coming up for me.

Going more times a week does not mean that the overall process is easier. There are benefits and risks and one must weigh them against all other elements in one's life. For now, I am staying at 2 x week because my T does not have schedule availability to give me that no more than 3 days between session break. If and when that becomes an option, we'll explore the concept again and see where I am at. I know I would not have made the progress I have made without moving to 2x a week. I need the additional contact to remain open to my T and not close down out of several reasons, mostly embarrassment and shame.
