But I can see how that setup might be difficult because an intern or resident is only there for 1-2 years before they move on. It took over a year for me to trust my therapist. Good luck, I'm not doing so well right now either but I think the local weather for the last 2 weeks is driving some of it.

That is a shame that your therapist got harsh with you because of that. If you can't afford it, what can you do? Of course its important to get treatment, but the healthcare system is so terrible and not everyone can get good insurance that will pay for what you need.
I haven't tried a university, I didn't know there were universities that offered therapy. I will keep that in mind if I need to look for a new therapist and finances are still an issue. I might be moving within the next year and will have to if I do, but right now I like working with my current therapist.
The weather affects me too, and its hasn't been very good here either lately. It will get better though, it always does. Good luck to you too.
