Likewise, the time between weekly sessions is for personal processing and integration work. Seeing T several times also prevents that from happening and instead, develops dependence on T. I am always shocked at how permissive Ts are here. Scarily so as it seems to foster dependence rather than autonomy and independence.
And yes, I am very aware that this is not a popular opinion.

In some cases I totally agree. I think it depends on what issues the client is working on and modality a therapist uses though. I also think it also depends on how it is used and what boundaries are in place.
