My sessions rarely continue a previous discussion unless I request that. Actually t puts me in charge of the topic each session. Her first question is how are you, and her second is what do you want to talk about today. This is more about carrying over the feelings of trust and openess we had last session.

I guess why it feels different this time is it's not a crisis. I am not in a bad place. I am actually in a really good place and just want to share the happiness with t. Maybe some of this stems from a few sessions ago when she told me her biggest wish was that I would find joy in my life.
Have you asked her if she has any sliding scale stuff? I believe my T regularly charges like $50 or more, but when I told her I was on disability/not working she lowered it significantly. What also helps is that she works out of a church (churches usually have low rent for groups that need a place to meet), so she doesn't have the overhead costs she did when having her own private practice/building. Maybe she would be willing to work with you money-wise so you could see her more?
