Perhaps.
At least in talking about it here, I do realize that he did do some things wrong. Or if not wrong, then at least not well. He *should* have said that we would look at all alternatives, in a positive sort of way. Not that while he may not be pleased at the prospect of a lower rate, it was of course my right to pay with insurance. In that flat tone. And his attitude about my potential diagnosis is not what I would have wanted to see in a person I admire. It did make me feel like I was an income stream. And wonder at his motivations. And feel a bit sleazy.
I'm not being *totally* unreasonable. Slightly unreasonable, yes.
I sometimes think that there is benefit in the constant disappointments and downgrading of expectations in therapy.
