Here in Australia we get 10 free government funded sessions a year (Unless considered at risk the you may get more.)This is unfortunately what I find myself most reliant on. It is also probably the main reason my past is still a dangerously suppressed wound.

I simply cannot attach to a T in that much time and without trust I can not open up and do any serious work so in the end I find myself relying on them to work through any minor issues that may crop up while continuing to try to work out the big stuff alone.

They end up being nothing more than a brief support used to maybe bounce ideas off of than to actually learn any skills.

Ironically we also get 50 free pdoc appointments here a year. I've never seen one more than 6 times in a year. Go figure.
