Thanks for this thread. I know my T isn't in it for the money but I still have that feeling because the caring is limited to the sessions and 1 email a week. It's not NORMAL, so we ARE paying our T to care. I feel like I've used my Ts to satisfy needs I should be able to get met elsewhere. I know intellectually that my T deserves to be paid, and that she cares for me anyway, but emotionally it just feels sort of shameful.
