Hi,
My understanding is that psychoanalysis requires the most significant commitment within any therapeutic modality.
The frequency of sessions is part of the therapeutic work.
You hit the nail on the head when you said 'This is how psychoanalysts work and these are their boundaries.'
I hope you are able to find a form of therapy that suits your circumstances better if that is what you would like to do.
Take care,
Lost
