I once asked my therapist if he would increase my sessions to twice a week since that's what I've had with all my prior therapists.
He said that therapy is like fertilizer(!). When a plant isn't growing, it would actually kill the plant or stop it from thriving if you kept increasing the fertilizer. But if the plant is in a growth stage and you increase the fertilizer, the plant will continue to grow and grow and grow.
He said that at present time my self-harm is way too severe and my dissociation (I have multiple personalities among four other things) that increasing sessions just wouldn't be beneficial.
Pretty cheesy, but I appreciated his honesty and it showed me that it was nothing to do with money or business, but genuine concern for my health. Cheesy, eh?
