One poster mentioned a grant her therapist applied for. I was fascinated by that idea. It might be worth it for others to check it out.

I've been unlucky then lucky my family has always payed, "Here's our money. Now FIX her!" My last therapist had me look at it in a different light, and the guilt went away.

ETA: my last therapist was $90.00/hr. I had as much therapy as I wanted and offered her $1000/month, though she was willing to do it for much less. We made a deal for me to pay this, and volunteer out in the community (I chose to be a stay at home mom). Trust fund babies, which I am not one are usually told to go volunteer. I proposed this to her, since at the time I had issues with money, and people doing things for me. This is not the case anymore. She loved the idea. I let her know the hours I volunteered every month for her records. I offered to work in a nonprofit of her choice, she said no, whatever I did was okay, but I chose economically and educationally challenged children, especially because her specialty is adoption and foster care children. It has lead to many job offers.

In 1992, in CA my Jungian Psychologist was $180/hour. My father kept asking wouldn't I rather have him buy me a bigger house. Duh...
