I´ve got some therapy sessions paid by my insurance company and now I´ve used most of it and feel dispair towards the fact that there´s a high risk that I won´t be able to complete the therapy just because of the funding.

I knew I would get 10 times for free before I started therapy but I had then never went into any kind of therapy before so I couldn´t know that 10 times is far too few sessions to get my issues solved. Both my therapist and my insurance company knew my financials before I started therapy.

The question that now came into my mind because of my very hard situation is that how it can be ethical to even offer therapy were the number of sessions is regulated on beforehand? The therapist him- or herself must know that there are a lot of issues that won´t be cured in just 10 times. 10 times, that is 10 weeks in general if you visit the therapist once a week so it´s not likely that the client "suddenly finds the money to pay" during the 10 weeks of therapy.

I know there are other options ( I live in Sweden and we can seek therapy through public health care) buth that´s NOT the point.

When you started of a quite painful process, you feel comfortable with your therapist and you make progress and then you get rejected just because of the funding?! How can a person, that is the therapist, be part of such unethical situation?

He or she knows and also notices during the sessions that 10 times won´t be enough and still goes on with this? It would then be wiser and more kind to the patient to adwise him or her to seek other therapy options or don´t start at all.

The insurance company did not inform me of this and as a client new to therapy I didn´t know the "danger" in this.

Hoping for some perspectives and answers in this matter.
