I wish I could give you a long thoughtful response, but this will have to do...
There are things that you are avoiding talking about. Do you know what they are, and why you are avoiding them? Does your therapist know what they are? What would happen if you collected all of your courage and talked about them? (This doesn't work for everyone, but it does work for me)
Perhaps seeing her 3/week would make them less scary. I know that since I see my therapist 3/week I don't worry so much about opening things up because I know that he will be there to help me process them.
I found a vast difference between 2/week and 3/week. It is an individual decision (I have compared it to knowing how many kids you want to have - 2 wasn't enough for me, but 3 is plenty). You know that she cares and that she is skilled. You could try it for a month and see how it goes?? I know it doesn't sound like fun, but it doesn't sound like you are having fun at 2/week, either...

P.S. I owe you ice cream...
