I needed the to see the therapist that had seen me through the hellish last year of my marriage more frequently. And I still do. I know none of the comments here are aimed at me directly, but some feel incredibly judgmental. I need what I need and my therapist seems happy to provide it and it doesn't feel unhealthy. We are able to go a lot more deeply than I would be able to at once a week. At some point I will drop back to twice a week, but I'm not there yet.

I was feeling a bit judged, too. And like my T was being judged for being unethical in providing me with something that's helping me and that I don't feel at all pressured into. (Yeah, there may be other reasons for people to judge my T, but I don't feel this should be one of them.) I'm glad your T is able to provide you with the support you need and that it's helping.
Thanks for this!
