I totally understand. I'm having the same problem with my psychiatrist, except she used to be warm and caring and now she's. Greedy and money- oriented. She has a hard time understanding that I have to sometimes pay her late do to my insurance often taking to long to reimburse me.
She always gets every cent she charges me in the end, so what's the big deal?
Now she won't see me unless I come in check in hand for bathe entire $350 fee, and sometimes spends a large portion of our session complaining!
This woman makes $750 per hour and yet still is preoccupied with money!
I'd do anything to have my old psychiatrist back, he was always flexible and didn't even blink if I paid late. He charged less for a session that lasted 15 minutes longer (45 minutes instead of 30) and instead of periodically raising his rate, he "grandfathered" me in at my original rate width only 2 increases over 10 years.
Why did he have to move to California?
These therapists are taught exctly how to manipulate people of all different personality types. We come to them at our most vulnerable and being mentally ill our judgement can be impaired.
Emotional prostitute is the perfect word for it, I couldn't agree more!
I'd venture that about 5% of them are decent moral people, but it's too hard to find them.
