Wow, that was really generous of her, particularly as she doesn't make much money. It sounds like she really values the work you do together and knows how important it is for you to continue seeing her. 17 years is a long time and I can imagine that the two of you must have a really strong bond after all that, which is really cool. Sometimes I fantasize about being with my T for that long--we'll see, I guess!
Speaking of my T, I saw him this morning, and we came to an agreement re: payment. He told me that he's been thinking about it a lot, and that he refuses to see me just once a week--that he truly believes that I should keep seeing him twice a week, and that I can pay him what I can for now and pay him back when I'm able to (there's no real deadline, though). He's charging me a reduced rate, too, so even when I pay him back, I won't be paying him his full fee. I'm feeling relieved and grateful and really cared for. I was totally freaking out about all this, but it seems to have worked out alright.
