Changing Ts is definitely not an option; I have too much invested in my relationship with this T; if something happened to her, I'd quit T rather than start again with someone else. Besides, even if I went to a T in the network, there would always be this issue about why I don't respond more quickly. I think most of the Ts in the network tend to be more CBT oriented.
My T has continually brought up how I might look at this differently if I had a physical illness like cancer. I tend to think I'd feel guilty about the financial drain from that too.
My husband is neither supportive nor non-supportive. He's never really involved himself in issues related to therapy unless I've fairly assertively forced him to be involved. I pay all the bills and file all of the insurance claims so he doesn't have a real handle on the cost. He certainly understands that I can't just change therapists, but I don't know how much he's really pondered the issue of why I'm still in T or why I go as frequently as I do. He seems pretty happy to stay out of that, and I'm not the kind of person who would naturally share things with him. I also probably can't simplify the issues enough to keep him paying attention and listening; it's all so muti-layered to me.
