canders, I think the $50 is a great deal. Really inexpensive! Most T's in my area are over twice that. You will not find a better deal anywhere else. Plus, it is with a T you know and respect and feel you can work with. Sounds like a win-win situation.

Could you get a part-time job to help with this extra expense? Maybe even working a half a dozen hours each week would be enough to help. Maybe your school has positions available that would mesh with your special needs.

Perhaps this should not be your primary concern at this time. They are adults and responsible for their own happiness. I hope you can make it a top concern to work on your own happiness!

A great advantage of working with this T is that she is now established in practice and could give you some stability in therapy. My heart has gone out to you as I have read your posts about doing therapy with the temporary trainees at your school. So hard to start therapy with someone knowing that they will leaving you soon.
