I understand Solairee, my T won't see me twice a week. He offered initially, insurance complained and we went back right away to once per week.

Yeah, I've done that before and he says "oh I feel like I just saw you"...

My T has tried to get me to notice when something hurts me and tells me to say "ouch" inside, to acknowledge that I have been hurt. I don't know how to do this yet (been working on it 20 months) but if my T said what yours said, I would say "ouch."

Soliaree, I hope that in the future you will find peace with once a week. Have you shared with your T how hopeless this makes you feel? I don't know if it will help at all to know this, but I used to really want to go twice a week to therapy (but didn't) and now I am content with one. So those feelings passed. Now it is hard for me when I skip a week, though. Whatever we are used to is hard to say good-bye to.
