He wants you to be able to go a whole week without meeting him face to face? I think some T's also worry that they will take advantage monetarily (or be pereceived that way) of needy patients by scheduling them more than is standard, so they guard against that by sticking to one time per week. However, your T gave none of these reasons! I would try to discuss further with him. I think part of your anger is because he didn't adequately explain himself.
