Dealing with money in therapy is so hard and so awkward! I'm so grateful for my T, bc she handles the awkwardness with such grace and addresses it head on. I pay her at the end of the month, but there have been a few times where I couldn't pay her for two months bc I was really financially jammed. She was incredibly understanding and patient, and told me repeatedly that it was ok, and that if it wasn't, she would let me know. I think it was a lot harder on me-I felt incredible guilt! I didn't want her to feel that I was taking advantage, even though she assured me that I wasn't.

I think money is especially awkward in therapy bc you pour your heart out to this person that you have an incredibly unique and intimate relationship with, and then hand them a check. I feel lucky to have a T that is skilled at handling the money part of things and never makes me feel like "just a paycheck"....but still, it's odd!
