my counselor just switched mine to twice a week too, because i was having a tough time. is that what happened to u? if uve been having a bad time thats why. or if she just wants to talk more and progress more
Because
maybe she thinks you need more counsiling.
Maybe you should ask your counselor!
You should ask your counseller why,it is possible that she feels you have more to disscus with her.
Maybe she/he thinks that you need to work out your issues or something. Honestly I can't tell you why. Sorry if I'm no help.
Could be several reasons. If you've been going for awhile; maybe she thinks you are close to wrapping up some issues. She must think you would benefit from 2x's a week. Just ask her; she'll tell you. Of course, it might just be more convenient for her schedule.
Good luck. Just tell her your concerns.
You're an interesting case, and she wants to really help you,
rather than let you fret or worry to much...just believe.
I don't think you have to worry. Sometimes it's better to have a few weeks with intensive therapy to get things to happen and it forces you to work a little bit harder with your self. After that you continue once a week. I suppose the counsellor wants things to happen - it's like a boost.
Most likely it's one of two things. Either your state of mind is such or your problems are such that she feels you need more frequent counseling, or she wants to suck more money out of you. Sorry if that sounds cynical. It's probably the first thing. But the other posters have a good idea, too...why don't you ask her? There is really no "set" frequency for counseling visits. If you ever watch the show "Monk" (granted, it's just a TV show), he goes at least three times a week. If more of the "work" of counseling needs to be done IN the session (as opposed to you trying some changes in your life outside the session) more frequency could be a good thing. If you feel it's productive time and your counselor is behaving appropriately towards you, I see no reason to worry.
I think its probably to do with caring about you as a person. Be grateful because there are not enough people around anymore who care about others. This person is trained in their job, so don't stress. You are going because presumably you have a problem so let your counsellor take the lead.
Have you been feeling badly lately?
Have you been more unstable lately?
Are you having safety issues?
Is there reason to believe you need more therapy than in the past?
Please ask her at your next appointment.
Good Luck
They are probably concerned about your wellfare.If you are not happy about the situation seek more advise from their boss.
The whole point in a counselor is so you're not worried. I think you should either ask her why, or ask her for a new counselor.
if your worried about getting more "Help" youre obviously heavily paranoid, she is only trying to help. either that or she is into you lol jkjk dont take that into consideration when paranoid cos it will look like its true to you! lol
any help is good help =]
I'm a psychotherapist, and if I suggest to someone that they come twice weekly it's usually for one of the following reasons.
1. The client is finding it hard to keep hold of a sense of connection to me and to the work over a week, and may be getting panicky and/or loses a sense of the thread and so is always going back to square one.
2. The client is feeling abandoned and rejected because of only having one hour out of a whole week.
3. The client has problems with alcohol or drugs and is trying to stop completely, and needs more support than once a week therapy can provide.
4. I feel that twice a week therapy will give the client a better chance of feeling safe enough in the work to really open up - on once a week therapy they have to keep well-guarded.
There's probably more reasons, but those are the ones that come to mind. However, as others have said, the best thing is to ask your counsellor - she will not mind in any way that you ask. Don't worry about it - it doesn't mean anything bad, just that twice a week therapy is more appropriate for you at the moment.
She of course has her reasons. Just ask her.
she care about u have got trust with counsellor do worry about it u are lucky u see her twice week if so worry if u trust tell her how feel but if their no trust u need a other one
