It's helpful to read all this, since I'm considering going twice a week, at least for a bit (ended up going twice last week and am going twice next week because T is away the following week).
For me, I was used to seeing two T's a week--ex-T (then more recently, current T) and our marriage counselor. So, even though not with same T, had two T sessions a week. Now we're only seeing MC occasionally (like once a month). T and I discussed this in our second session this week, which was held because I was upset about some stuff he'd said the day before regarding attachment and thinking about the relationship too much. Plus I've been contacting him outside of session some (he has boundaries around that, but I've been adhering to them, according to him.) During that session, I mentioned how I'd been used to seeing both MC and T (or ex-T) each week. And T said, "So, basically, your overall sessions have been cut in half." And I said yeah. Plus I often had outside contact with ex-T and MC. I think then he understood more why I was struggling with the relationship with him, how seeing him once weekly didn't seem like enough.. So he offered to see me either twice weekly, or like an every 4-5 days thing (like...Monday, then Friday, then Tuesday, etc.). I'm pondering it, but think I might try it, at least for a bit...
