It sounds like a very intense time for you right now. One that it's probably impossible to reach on an infrequent session basis. I think it's great you're able to go more often, and can take advantage of the frequency by going deeper. Of course, I know it's also painful. But I know your therapist can help support you through that pain.
I've actually cut back to twice a week and am considering once. It seems that once I leave his office it feels like a million years since I saw him, so it really makes no difference when I next see him.
And yes, that scares me. The rational side of me is darn convenient to have when things are rough. But I know how easy it is to lose the emotional side entirely, and how very hard it is to get back once it's lost.
I'd go more often, but that doesn't seem to do any good. I *am* terrified of losing the feeling connections. It seems as if connections to others is what keeps me (or at least my emotional side) anchored to this world. Without them I can float away. I fear I'm in real danger of floating, and don't have much energy left for fighting to relationship.
