In reply to How many times a week?, posted by Angela2 on February 24, 2005, at 15:30:22
I've been going once a week for a couple of years. I started out going every other week, because it was so expensive, but as soon as I got into bigger issues, that just wasn't enough. When we're working on really sensitive topics, I'd love to go more often. I think having more visits helps you keep the momentum up, and prevents the defenses from developing too much in between sessions. But it's hard to afford.
And sometimes, having a week in between is helpful, because I have to figure out ways to adjust to ideas on my own. If I was seeing my T more often, I might just save things up for my sessions, and spend less time integrating them into my independent life. It's just a thought I've had a few times. Maybe total bunk.
