I go 2 or 3x a week and when in crisis, I've gone 4 straight days. Trust and accessing help are my major issues and I get all twisted up when we are working on past trauma. This is the first time I'm telling, so I have no comparison to what it might be like to talk about all this stuff if you've talked about it before. If I fall apart, he has me come back to put me together.
I've also found that the frequency allows me to stay with a subject instead of restarting over and over again. The danger is that darn dependency stuff. I fight it. He wants me to face that fear so when I start making noise about seeing him too much, he has me come more. He says, "I know this freaks you out on some level but..." Yup!
I should also say I have very flexible insurance so it isn't horrible expensive. I do sometimes think about the shoes I could be buying instead...
