> Here's what I really want to do but am scared to do -- I want to call him tomorrow and explain that since the last 2 weeks were a wash, and there is a lot I feel ready to jump into, could I have an additional session next week to accelerate the process and capitalize on my willingness to open up if prodded. I've never asked for anything extra; I've only called him about appointment conflicts. I think I would shrivel up and die if he said no. I tried to hint last week about needing more than once a week sessions by saying once a week barely makes a dent. >>>i go twice a week and find it helpful, but it does take a lot of emotional energy to keep up that pace. when she went on vacation for a month at xmas i thought it was going to kill me. i missed her so much. that was eight aptps we didn't have! more than once a week fosters a dependence (i think) that i'm not always comfortable with. i feel like i need her soooooo bad. for what? i'm not sure.
