Yes, I'm definitely aware of how lucky I am to be able to access this. I was on the less lucky end of things for quite some time, where I could only afford therapy every two weeks at most. Or the time period when the only psychiatrist I found who took my insurance would only see me every 6 months for 15 minutes. It seems incomprehensible by comparison that now I see my therapist this often, and it's hard not to feel guilty about it at times. I also worry my luck will run out and my insurance will stop covering it, but I'll cross that bridge if/when I get to it.

It shouldn't be this rare though. This type of therapy is far more helpful for me than previous therapy experiences have been, and I wish it was available to everyone for whom it would be helpful.
Thanks for this!
