I am putting myself through college along with paying for my own housing, rent, and therapy, and working full time. I have no worth or value. And it is up to me to make my life work, not some random lady I have dragged into the middle of my mess. That is the definition of unfair: "You have to deal with me and all my crap, and I won't even pay you for it...but ethically you have to because that's the rules." I can't do that to her. I would rather die than force her to be in that position. I don't deserve any better than that. I deserve to be abandoned and left alone. That is all I have ever received. It is confusing to me when she won't readily do that, yet insists it is because she cares or wants to be there for me. I don't want her to do that. It's much easier to be rejected.
It's only two months, and so I know for a fact I won't always be pro bono. It's just May and June that I won't be able to pay.
I just don't have any part of my own mind that is willing to accept it. I don't see myself as even minimally worth it. I don't even deserve her time when I am paying her and I am constantly afraid she will decide I am wasting time and get rid of me. This is just much more reason for her to do so. Much easier to reject her first than to have her reject me.

Boy. This sounds like much more reason for you to NEED to take it, if only for a while, just to give yourself the opportunity to break out of this mindset. Its like you're holding onto these feelings and you can use lack of money to hold onto these feelings. So your t is saying - okay, lets take the money excuse away; now what are you going to do, to say? Kinda pulling the rug out from under you. Your security blanket of no security. I wont even make my bed up nice because im afraid i'll have to pay for that feeling of security. So no fair saying your t is doing it out of ethics. You dont get to talk for her.
