i had started going twice a week about four months into therapy with my ex-T because when there was too much time between sessions and it was too easy for me to disconnect, push away and switch off from the work we had been focusing on and each week it felt like starting over again. this was especially true when trying to build trust with my T or even a workable connection to him because my object permanence was severely lacking. it mainly was my idea to go twice a week and T was happy to give it a try and see how it went and it definilty made a big difference in my progress. i continued with twice a week for 4.5 years. eventually, he was willing to extend one of my sessions to 90 mins, and again, that made a big difference because it allowed more time for me to warm up and to go deeper with out feeling rushed or pushed out the door too soon. in my last year of therapy with him, i was ready to cut back down to once a week, which i kept the 90 min session and continued to make a lot of progress during that final year until the day i was ready to officially end.
