I'm so sorry about your spine! That's terrible, and I hope you're mending well. (Have you had a bone scan? That's a selfish question -- I'm afraid of breaking something, and hope there'll be some reassurance in your answer. I hope you won't hold that against me.)
As for your T, if you've felt all along that he has no real concern for you, and is only concerned with his own profit -- how Ferengi of him -- then I'd suggest considering looking for a new T. You said there are only a few more sessions on your insurance? Is this guy worth paying for out of pocket? Have you benefitted from therapy with him? If you haven't benefitted in a year, then I think it might be worth looking around. I've been working with my T for just barely over a year -- 14 months -- and I know that I've benefitted. I think a lot of people here on the board know that I've benefitted.
And one reason that I think I've benefitted is that I know she's in the room with me during our sessions, you know? I know that she sees ME during our sessions. And I feel safe and good during those sessions. If I didn't feel that way, I don't know that I'd be there. I think I'd have looked around some more. It really is worth it, though, to look around until you feel the right fit. I know how hard it is, especially while you're in crisis, but it is possible, and it does help.
Good luck, and good healing.
