Cutting down from 2times a week to once??

Posted by gardenergirl on November 13, 2005, at 20:10:15

Hi,
My T told me last week that the clinic is getting so busy there is a wait list, and so I have to cut back to once per week. This is something I knew could happen, but I haven't thought about it in ages.

I've really really benefitted from going twice a week. I think it leads me to work deeper, and I feel like I'm progressing faster. Recently, however, I've wondered myself if it's time to cut back to once a week. I could not decide if that was because I felt I was doing better and wanted to think about tapering to termination (a long process) or if I was actually trying to avoid something in therapy. Perhaps something therapy relationship oriented?

At any rate, the decision has been taken out of my hands. He reassure me that it was only an administrative decision, NOT a clinical one. I told him I wasn't devastated. Hmm, interesting way to put it.

I'm not devastated. But I am a bit worried about how therapy will change. It seemed SO MUCH SLOWER at once a week. I'm afraid it will become less meaningful. I suppose I'm afraid I'll become less meaningful to him. (not so secret wish to be favorite client!)

I don't know how this will feel, and that is making me anxious. Anyone have any experience or thoughts to share?

Thanks,

gg
