I'm struggling with trust issues and abandonment issues and trauma, and weekly sessions have been working better for me because I don't have as much time to convince myself to stop trusting my T or freak out or pull away, but it's not really that feasible financially so I want to go down to once every other week at some point. My friend sees the same T once every 3 weeks, we were in the same inpatient group therapy at the hospital together, and she's older and I thought I would ask her for some advice. She said that he feels comfortable with him and just told me that I have to put in the work between sessions and do the homework assigned until you see him again. Maybe I'm being too sensitive, but it felt really invalidating... And I also feel like I'm defective or there's something wrong with me that I can't just do what she does. I mean everyone probably has a hard time spilling all their secrets and deepest thoughts, so why am I being a big baby about it?
