I couldn’t agree more and love how the article delves into the great positive and beneficial aspects a good client/ therapy relationship can be .
Yes, you point out some critical aspects of more frequent sessions. Unfortunately, this critical piece of providing treatment does not get enough attention outside of the psychoanalytic world.

Wow, what a beautiful piece with practical tips!! Thank you!!
