So he offered twice a week if I wanted, so I'm doing that for now.

I’m sorry you had such painful experiences with *two* previous therapists. I like how you frame it in terms of safety. That’s not a descriptor I had come up with, but it feels like it fits.
I’ve also considered asking for an additional session per week instead of paying for emails, but also have a fear that she’ll think there’s no real need for it. I’m not in crisis, I’m functioning just fine. But of course I can’t know that she would reject either proposal without asking!
