Seeing Therapist 3x A Week?

[ellienad]

I've been seeing my therapist twice a week now for a couple months, but right now I'm going through a really rough time. I want to ask to come a third day over the next couple weeks, but I'm embarrassed to ask. Is three times a week excessive?

I would just explain that you are going through a rough time right now and ask for an extra day. I say if you need it, go for it. Or maybe ask for longer sessions?

I see mine 3x a week, sometimes 4. I'm lucky he has the time. Go ahead and ask - and if your T says no, talk about why. If there is one person in the world you get to practice asking for what you need with, it's your therapist! :)

I don't think you should be embarrassed about needing more time with a therapist! We all have issues, and sometimes they take more time to work through, and sometimes we need more support on some issues than on other issues. So go for it if you need it! Don't be ashamed!

Would it benifit you to have longer ones to get more processed, and have time to regulate your grounding skills? Good luck hun.

Thanks for all your support!! I answer to the longer sessions question, I don't know if I would be able to handle longer sessions. I'll take the plunge and ask for an extra day :tup:
