I turned up today and once again told T I still do not feel that connectedness with her, and told her how I feel I have lost something, and how the world feels differently and the ways I use to find to bring me some joy have been lost

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">It sounds like you had a strong need, expressed it to T , and she responded by offering you more time with her. Perhaps you were looking for a great quality of therapy (more connectedness) and what she offered was a greater quantity, so her offer just didn't fill the bill? Are you sure her offer of more time really meant she thinks you are unwell? Perhaps you are just in need of a bit more support right now.

I think if you don't want to go 3 times a week, can't take time off work for it, or can't afford it, then you can just decline her offer. Perhaps suggest to her that the two of you could work for greater connectedness in your 2 sessions rather than adding more?

Sounds like a hard time now, Mouse. Take care.
