I used to go once a week, but have been going twice a week for almost 2 years. My therapist initially asked me to come twice a week during a particularly difficult time. I think her concern was that we were spending so much time just dealing with the crisis du jour that there was no time to actually work on anything. I'm mostly stable now but I know she's still very wedded to the twice a week schedule for me. I think she gave up on CBT stuff with me ages ago and feels that more intensive psychotherapy holds the best chance of success.
I am blessed with a very good health insurance policy which contains unmanaged mental health benefits, although it's extremely expensive and I'm not sure how much longer it's going to be offered by the group I'm in.
