Is it important to have therapy weekly instead of fortnightly ?

[Sn0wZt3ps]

I have therapy fortnightly with longer sessions. My therapist is happy to continue like that but has said she’d ideally like to see me weekly. Shes given me 3 different options including what we’re doing now and has told me to go with what is best for me. I find the 2 weeks in between long but then I guess it builds up resilience. Not sure what is best. I found shorter sessions harder in some ways.

Go with what you are happy with for now. Your therapist is just putting options out there.

I prefer weekly sessions to fortnightly myself. I find if there's too long a gap, half the session tends to be about catching up from the last two weeks and it takes longer to get into the proper work.

I think to get through some really tough stuff weekly is best. I’ve been doing it for three years now and I think I’m ready to move to fortnightly. I couldn’t have done fortnightly through some of my big break throughs.

If money wasn’t an issue I’d have the length I have now every week. It’s extended to count for the fortnightly and although more expensive cheaper overall when fortnightly. She’s seen me through some really shitty things and although things are still really hard we’re working on me more now and it’s starting to make me feel stronger. We have focused on trauma a bit. It’s hard to know what to do. It feels self indulgent having the longer time weekly( particularly when you have a family) and I’m worried she’d get sick to the back teeth of me. 😊At the moment things are still happening although they feel more manageable so we quickly cover the fortnights events and move on to me. I worry that if I did a normal length session weekly which is another option I’d just end up worrying about the time and just covering events of the week as the time goes so quick.

It’s hard to know what is the best. Just wondered if therapeutically it makes a difference. Maybe I’m overthinking it.
