Hi,
I think it depends on the issues you are talking about and how your are processing them afterward. When my son started at every-other-week, we got no where. We moved to weekly and it made a huge difference. (Anxiety disorder)
For me, I started at weekly and recently went to 2x's week but that was because I emotionally was melting down a few days after sessions and couldn't keep it together. (I run a company so I HAVE TO keep it together!)
I also didn't (don't) have anyone to process all this stuff with, so going twice a week allows us to go into something and then back off and talk about the process of going into it. I think it allows integration into your life a little better. My life is very complicated right now and there are both past issues to deal with as well as current stuff that sucks.
There is no doubt that it is expensive, at least my insurance allows it.
I still maintain that everyone should be assigned a therapy buddy to go through all of this with. I guess that is what babble is for me. :)
I like Dinah's 3x's in 2 weeks idea though. Very creative.
-D
