She said that it might not be a wise idea to go from weekly therapy for years to only seeing someone a couple times a year. I do think that I will pay for her myself, but I would like to see her more often, if possible. It's just frustrating that my parents are willing to pay for someone that they approve of, but not this one therapist. They aren't the ones who are seeing her. I emphasize over and over how I think that I can do good work with this therapist. And they refuse to let me see her, without even knowing her.
