I'm currently doing double sessions rather than seeing my therapist twice a week. And unless I drop the sex therapist, I just can't manage spending an entire day on driving and seeing him a second time. Plus I'm a bit afraid I'd start seeing therapy as a drag, if I have to drive the boring road I'd have to drive.
But once a week therapy is just not the same. :( I was happy to hear my therapist understood it. He said that at least three quarters of the first session was spent reconnecting, and we didn't do the deep work until after that. While twice a week therapy was like getting the second part of the session for the entire time, because we didn't need to spend any time reconnecting. Since that was exactly my own assessment, it felt really good that he experienced the same thing. Sometimes therapy seems so one sided that it was reassuring that it isn't as one sided as it seems.
