Since my therp takes Medicare and makes so little on it, I had the same fear about bring dropped. I didn't want to get comfortable with her for fear she would do like my former therp, and basically leave me know choice but to quit.

I finally asked my therp why she took me on, and how she felt that she made so little seeing me, when she normally charged so much for normal individuals. She told me that she took Medicare because it was a way of giving back for help she'd been given. Also, she was aware that a lot of people would not, or stopped taking Medicare patients because they resented the small amount they received. But she knew and accepted and did not have a problem with the money. She couldn't take on a lot of patient's with Medicare, but she did what she thought she could.

I think this is what won me over and really got me to open up to her. Frankly, I know hey have some power to the extent that they can take action if they feel like I'm a danger to myself or others. But, they work for you, regardless. And knowing that you have some control over what happens or is discussed has helped. And frankly, any therp worth their salt will tell you that they work for YOU.

Good luck.
