Yes, that's true. When I was commenting once to my therapist that I couldn't afford to come in twice a week, he asked me if I thought I could continue to work the same number of hours if I didn't come in, or if I thought I might have to be hospitalized. At the time I was in pretty bad shape, and the answer was that the therapy was cheaper than the alternatives.
I'm not sure about now, and would like to go back to once a week. But the simple fact is that I'm way more stable emotionally on twice a week therapy. I dunno.
I know there are therapists who are big on boundaries and not fostering dependence, and I understand it theoretically. But I prefer a therapist who is flexible and in tune with the needs of the client.
