Sounds like twice per week is what you need but also need some winding down wiht therapist before you end of the session; maybe some summing up and words of encougagement on T's part. When things are really rough for me, T has done that.
Last week I spent on my husband as he was not talking to me all week. T actually got directive and told me not to apologize to my husband as it would just lead to further times when he would "punish" me with silence. It is a long story--suffice it to say I got angry with him about something, and I had a right to be angry I thought, and T thougth so to. At one point he made a comparison to my mother who puniched me with silence as a child. He made some comment about a tragic mismatch, and I am not sure but it sounded like he meant me and my husband.
So, I know you have issues in the present as I do too, and these can feel more upsetting than past stuff at times. But now is when you need T to be there for you and to acknowledge....
