My issue with finances has been similar. I left an awful job at the same time as I lost my allowance for medical costs (which in total was about half of my therapy each week, not including other medical bills) and I wasn't offered a reduced rate. Every cent came from my savings. I worried, and stressed, and didn't think I could bring the topic up with my therapist, because she knew...and if she was willing to offer...well surely? She encouraged me to find more work to pay for therapy. The truth is that even with more work...I could barely afford the cost.
The money stuff is hard. It certainly brings up big feelings for me. My therapist will talk about stuff like this on the phone in between sessions and this is the sort of thing I'd request a phone call for (if I was brave enough)! I don't think you'll be rushing her decision process if you just need to tell her how confused and worried this makes you feel.
