In reply to What to do when you can't afford therapy anymore?, posted by Suedehead on March 3, 2009, at 8:11:10
I'm kind of in the same boat w/my T. When I lost my job, I expected to have to quit therapy because I couldn't pay her, but she offered to take the pittance amount ($30) that insurance pays me for her $125+ visit until I was back on my feet again. This still makes me uncomfortable, and I think I'm going to pay her back the difference when I get a job. It's going to be a big debt for sure, but I feel obligated.
I cried when she told me. I asked her why she would do that and she said we had worked too long and hard for there to be a big gap in our work together. She didn't want to lose the continuity.
My pdoc refused to lower his rate or give me a discount at all. Not easy to pay for, at all, but I have to go.
Try to find a way to hold onto your T. It is important for the work you are doing.
