Dinah -
My T would definitely agree with you. Going 2 + times per week is a totally different experience than going once a week or less. On my first going around with this T, I struggled immensely with frequency. She once equated frequency with digging a hole at the beach. If you dug a four foot hole in the sand, a week later, it would be covered up. But if you attend to the hole more often, there is a larger chance of it staying open.
When I began again in 2004, she said, "I still believe the more often you go, the more you'll get out of it." I don't fight the going more often on a philosophical basis, it's the justification of spending that much money. So far, my brain is winning the fight with my more rational side. However, my husband started a new job, with new health insurance, and there is a lifetime cap of 100 sessions ... it would be gone in a year!! YIKES!! So I am only submitting half of my sessions for reimbursements, I don't know how this will work in the long run. I can always hope he'll get another job next year!
