1:2 unfortunately my memory of this period is a bit shakey. It was after maybe 6-8 weeks she was like let's have 2 cause crisis. I do struggle to start again each time in a session and found 2 helped in that respect as I was already 'open' for the second session - which is the next day due to scheduling issues.

2:3 I asked for this cause I wanted to get the damm therapy over with. Was obvs still in my yeah this is a quick fix period! What we found is that it fit a story arc better. I had time to ease into the opening, e.g. update on week, drop the closing time bomb. Then in the second session I was more relaxed with diving deep as I knew the next session was in 24 hrs so I didn't have to live v long with whatever crap I unearthed.

So I was a lot more willing to be open. Then the last one gave time for dealing with the inevitable overnight questions and thoughts and wrapping up and getting back to normal. Without that safety net of an easy session if needed again I don't thibk I would be as willing to go so deep.

Aside from the arc, 3 sessions let us deal a lot faster e.g. there's always the inevitable reaction due to a break, or some mini rupture, that needs to be discussed that is that work but not if you get what I mean.

I'm a lot more stable outside sessions with 3 than 2, also less outside contact as like it's only 4 days between sessions.

It's certainly a financial and time commitment but I prefer the greater effectiveness for me. Progress is more visible. But I view it as a time of transition. I think if and when I'm ready for the next stage e.g. maintenance I'll drop back down.
