I was having two sessions a week. When I asked, my therapist wanted to know why I wanted to go twice a week. I think she thought I wanted to get it over with asap. But it was more just because I had NOTHING going on in my life and was SO depressed I just thought it would be more intensive and therefore better.

As it turned out, after a few months of twice a week, I found it better to do once a week. It allowed me to have a bit more of a life, as I started getting better. Twice a week can be very consuming.

But I'd say ask, definately. And then you can see where you go from there. For me, the most important advice for therapy was try to be as honest as you can, even tho its hard. So if you're thinking "ooh I'd rather go twice a week", then that's something she needs to hear you say.

Ok, well good luck!
