The follow up session was horrible....

So she asked what i wanted to do and i said i wanted to stay and then she said she
wanted to go over how she works it... I was thinking that she already did the prior week when she explained that she had spots for reduced fee clients and that she expected them to pay more as they were able and expected them to let her know when their situations changed.

Then she said i dont think most of this would apply to me... But she said that she has a certain number of spots for people at a reduced fee and that she trusts that i will pay more as I am able. she said that she doesnt think i would take advantage but then a few minutes later she said if i said i was going to Hawaii she might ask about that. She went on and on about the reason that she wants clients to tell her if their situation changed was so she could offer to someone else who needs it. But after all of the clarifying of each statement that "not that I think you would do that" or"I know I could trust you to tell me when the situation changed" and all she said she would check in every 2 or 3 months to see if my situation had changed..

so then when she had sufficiently shamed me ....she tried to get us to talk about other stuff just about when i could actually look at her...she was scheduling and then asked if the week of thanksgiving would work for me because "I know you like to come every other week"... i felt like she had kicked me in the gut....

(its what i did during spring last year because i couldnt afford it and then i took the summer off because i couldnt afford it but when i came back in September i've done 8 weeks weekly because she said it works better for me but now that its reduced fee shes asking if every week is fine...

It definitely felt completely different than last week. I was thinking does she remember that she offered this... I didn't ask...she offered and now she is being so cold and mean about it... When she talked like that, I felt she definitely regretted her offer...

I should have know to expect this... my experience has always been that women change..... they suggest something and they make it seem fine and then make you feel bad.

I havent felt so shamed in a long time.

Would this have bothered you? Would you be able to work with this type of arrangement?
