How often do you see your therapist?

How often? How does that get determined? Do you decide or does your t make a suggestion? How does that work?

I see mine twice a week, and it is my own choice. At certain times, if something is very complicated and involving, he will offer to meet for an extra half or whole session, but it is still up to me.

At one point he offered to meet every day. He said he would charge for 3 days and throw in the other 2 for free. It was when serious traumatic stuff was coming up. He does psychoanalysis so this is a way that some people do work, even if not in crisis.

I did it and wow, was it ever eye-opening. A completely different experience. I can now see why people choose to undergo analysis.

Twice a week. It was my T who suggested that, very early on. I don't think I would have found the courage to ask if he hadn't asked me whether I would want to come more often than once a week. T has said that if he worked full time he might be able to offer me a third session per week, but that's not possible. I'm very grateful to get twice-weekly sessions.

I speak with her twice per week (therapy via phone) and we communicate mid-week via a paid email thread.

I determined it based on wanting to stay connected and keep my defenses down. It's easier for me to stay vulnerable and process everything when I work with her more frequently. I used to do several sessions a week which was extremely intense but rewarding. I cut back due to budget concerns.

It is my choice how often to see her and we've collaborated on scheduling that worked for both of us, luckily she has good availability.

I used to go once or twice a week. That's difficult to pay for so I've been going once a week or once every two weeks.

Now though, I have to travel further for sessions so it will be 1 time every two to three weeks.

Once a week is the norm for t and I. Though, when I started it was once every two weeks. Then, for a short period of time, while processing trauma it was twice a week. But we always land back at once a week. I found out that he generally sees most of his clients every two weeks, but told him I have a hard time with that and I have been automatically added to his calendar for once a week appointments.

Once a week, and we both think it works well.

When I started I went once a week, at her suggestion, there were times I went twice a week. We do phone sessions now (she moved out of state 2 yrs ago) every 2 weeks usually, sometimes more often like last week we had 2 sessions over 2 days at my request.

Once a week, though I stopped going for a couple months. Just went back on Monday of this week.

I asked her the second time I saw her, which was a month after the first time I saw her, if I could start seeing her once a week. By the second time she'd seen me she realized how messed up in the head I am and readily agreed.

Weekly. T and I talked about what would be the most helpful frequency. When I first started seeing T, it was weekly, then I started struggling with stuff to talk about, and we moved to every two weeks, then, I was really struggling emotionally and we went back to weekly. The discussion about frequency just seemed to naturally occur as it needed to and T and I reached agreement on what I needed.

weekly. it's pretty much up to me however since i'm in the dbt program, i'm required to see him weekly which is fine with me.

Every two weeks. That's about what I want to see her. I sort of just need a check up.

Three time a week.

Why the sad face teamcure?

I only see mine once a week. I want to see her twice, but I'm not sure how to bring it up or if she'd even agree. I just feel like I never have enough time to discuss everything, and if I saw her more often I would be able to let me guard down more easily. I'm just tired of trying to stay afloat all on my own.

I would like to go twice a week, but her schedule doesn't permit it. I see T once a week and I am allowed to call and speak to her during the week if I need to.

Twice a week... lately it doesn't feel like enough. I miss him so much in between.

Once a month right now, I have decided that I am doing good enough right now that I really only need to go once a month.

I've been doing every other week. Had planned to try weekly, but he's on vacation this week, and after last week, I'm not sure I want to go back!

Twice a week usually. One fixed slot on Tuesday and my T always offers a session on Friday.

Soon after I started T he said he was concerned once a week might not be enough for me. He waited until I asked to come more though, I think it needed to be my decision.

Once a week, but not this week because we have exams. If I'm in a crisis, she asks to see me twice a week, once on Mon and once on Wed or Thu, so she can check and see if I'll be safe.

2x a week. I seem to have unlimited e-mail contact also. He is odd and encourages me to call, but I've only done that twice in six years. Once was the morning after I was admitted inpatient, and the other I was actively suicidal.

I go twice a week, and also have unlimited Email contact if I desire.

For 4 years I saw my T weekly. She didn't offer more than that but she did offer 90 minute sessions which was ideal for me. Since March, however, I only see her every 2 weeks for an hour because she doesn't take my insurance anymore. It's hard but manageable.

Once or twice a week. I wish I had a second session this week.
