I've heard that even our Ts do not enjoy talking about the money aspect of the relationship. Yes....my t said once he needed to check himself that he wasn't exploiting me financially, emotionally, etc...> Lately, I've been having a lot of financial difficulty.
Since my divorce, I have been struggling, etc.
> I recently emailed my T that I need to cut our number of sessions in half. I'm sure she and I will talk about it tomorrow. I sure hopes she understands.
I hope she does too; in these economic times, it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of clients had to forego therapy.
I'm actually thinking about getting a 2nd job, basically so I can pay my T.
That is what i am doing.
I pay out of pocket. Do you mind me asking what she/he charges? Mine charges 80.00, which I know is a little cheaper than most.
But in January, I'll be able to pay a whole lot less. For right now, it sucks. I'm not making as much money as I was when I first started with my T.
Love you, too....Jay...Sassy
