I have issues with money. And that "dreaded money monster" as T calls it now, is what caused the one rupture we had awhile back. I'm working on it, finally started talking with T about it a couple months ago or so. Her naming it like she did, somehow made it easier to talk about. I hate money, I have always hated money, I hate that we have to HAVE money, I hate everything ABOUT money!!! We came up with the idea of doing 25 minute sessions for half her normal rate (I pay out of pocket), which I am SO grateful for, and actually turns out that I do pretty good with 25 minutes because I know I don't have time to hem and haw and stall. I've been doing overtime at work, to fund my 'therapy account' that I opened recently, and asked her for 50 minutes last week and this coming week because of the big stuff we've been talking about lately. But I'm going to have to go back to the 25 minute sessions after this week. They're not being as generous with the overtime at work as they had been. I hope you get this worked out. I definitely empathize with the money issues thing!!!
