Hi Leah, I only have some words of comfort for you. I relate too. My therapist is not going to get anything at our next session, it will be the first time. I feel like you, I've always paid for everything and now I feel uncomfortable. T said she is fine and there's nothing to discuss if I'm worried about her, but it was difficult to text her my schedule for an appointment as I didn't feel entitled to do that. I wrote her late after a lot of thinking, I decided that not writing at all would have been an insult since she was waiting for news from me.

So I guess the best thing we can do to honor out T's kindness (defer payment, free sessions, reduced fees or whatever) is just to accept what they offer to us as long as we need to and they are willing to do it and let them know how grateful we are.

Hugs!
