I have to say that we are not a truly representative bunch when it comes to therapy. Many , many folks here have attachment issues and abandonment issues so have different expectations than the once a week therapy with outside therapy contact limited to scheduling or the occasional second session for a specified amount of time. In this part of the country if you need much more than that then it's iop or partial hospitalization.

I have learned from this site that therapist do their client a great disservice when they agree to more service and then over time decide it's too much stuff and tighten boundaries or cut back. It's always the client that gets intensely hurt and that is maddening for me to witness here.
