I hadn't realized that I wasn't the only one who was ashamed. I arrange the flex spending reimbursements so that my company only gets one per week (which uses up the max anyway). I am evasive about where I've been.
It's not just the frequency, it's that I'm going twice a week after nearly ten years of therapy. And it's not like we're breaking new ground or having enormous insights or anything. This *is* maintenance.
Sigh. I suppose when my life settles down I can manage on once a week. But once a week therapy doesn't feel like the same experience as twice a week therapy at all. Twice a week therapy is *not* just two once a week sessions. The strength with which I perceive the difference is why my therapist thinks it's the right course of action for me.
