>>>>>I am wondering if he is HELPING YOU any?
Hi Fallen, not really, I guess. Just in terms of not being completely alone. It's even different just sitting in the same room as someone, than being alone -- even if you don't talk. But then, sometimes when you're alone too much you don't even speak. I used to hate hearing the sound of my voice, when I'd have to talk to people and hadn't been out in awhile. So he helps that way. Before things started getting weird, he might've been helping. I was supposed to try a male therapist so I wouldn't be afraid of men anymore. I've always had that problem from childhood, but after spending so many years in ED treatment (kinda isolated from the regular world) and in a 95% female environment, it was especially strong. I was starting to think that he was alright. But now, I've had to change my mind.
>>>>>>I do not feel you should have to pay to listen to his issues.
He offered way back early last summer if he could stop billing. He said it would prove how much I mean to him as a person -- that he doesn't only see me cause he's "forced" to cause I'm a client. He knows I don't have enought money. He's offered to pay for other things that have been running me into the ground (like my teeth). I've said no.
Thanks for the good wishes.
