Dinah,

FWIW I think you should only pay for the time that you actually received therapy. Therapy is a contractual service. You pay for the service and he provides his time and the space. I think you both have to respect the frame in a case like this. Personal fault really doesn't come into it. If you are sick and have to cancel at the last minute, it's not your fault but you still (depending upon what the frame is) may need to pay for the missed session because it's your side of the contract. If his office, or he himself, is suddenly unavailable, he is not providing his contracted service regardless of whether it is his fault or not.

Although we all may hate the frame at times, it does serve to protect us as well. And it helps to keep the fiduciary considerations minimized in the relationship. It sounds like that might be especially helpful in this case. Using money for love, guilt, or other purposes just doesn't seem like a good idea for the therapy.
