haha. NO, I don't think shes attached. I just needed a title that would kinda make this thread make some type of coherent sense...I don't think shes attached... I just think that its crazy that she is letting me pay her 20 dollars to come see her. Her average price is 75 but, she works on a sliding scale. My parents didn't want me in therapy so the only way I could go is if I paid for it myself. Well, I'm a college student with a job with hardly any hours...so I can see how she has mercy but, I feel like she must really believe that she can help me if she is willing to charge me almost nothing, 20 dollars for her services...every time I visit. but, sometimes I want to quit..just because she is so gifted at finding the pain in me...at triggering it... she digs for it and then I wind up depressed a lot...but, even on days I'd like to quit she has this way of making me feel hopeful, like I need to wait...but, she is sooo gifted at making us both connect at such a deep level, is she was more "clinical" in the sense, like more uptight, it'd be a lot easier for me not to get attached too but, she makes it hard for me, i feel independent but, then she is extremley empathetic and just has this way of digging deep into who I am... making me feel more attached, even though I wasn't before...i don't know, a lot of times I want to quit because she just has this way of tugging at the core of me, at my heart...and not just the surface...she could have easily said, (my original payment was 40) she could have easily said, well, you can't pay...I'll see you next time, when you get more money...but, she didn't and it really makes me curious why? does she really think she can help me? or will she give up on me soon? i guess we'll just have to find out!
