Wow. It's hard to verbalize, I think.
There are the more concrete advantages. I called less between sessions and it was easier to contain my emotions between sessions with twice a week therapy. I'd start in immediately with where we left off the previous session, at twice a week therapy, with little lost reaquaintance time. That enabled us to get way deeper than the current once a week arrangement, where we haven't talked about anything that isn't current.
But the less concrete advantages are far more important to me. There is a vast increase in intimacy and emotional connection. There's more of a feeling of support and safety. Of course, that backfired in my case, but how many natural disasters are there, really.
