Unfortunately, I've recently lost one of my jobs due to lay offs and am also splitting with my hubby and am now in different financial circumstances. My T is wonderful but very expensive. I'm just wondering how everybody would approach this with their T. I can't imagine asking T for a price break. The subject came up once last year and she did not seem very open to it. So I am thinking that I'm just going to tell her that I have to cut back on sessions but then I am wondering if she will think that I'm hinting that I want a price break. And I'm wondering if I will be disappointed if she doesn't offer and just agrees to cut back on sessions. I'm also worried that if we cut back on sessions and I pay her less, she will give me less in terms of her time in terms of texting me between sessions, which she is good about, and also going over time on our sessions, which she does once in a while when necessary.
I am just so scared to broach the subject because I don't want to lose any of the time that I have with her but know that it's not fair to ask. And also I'm so scared I will be hurt by her responses. And also, she is really a wonderful T, very caring and dedicated, but it seems like a nonnegotiable for her is her extremely high fee and that is very important to her. That is something I don't like to think about about her. How important the money is. I get nauseous so I try not to think about it. But I don't know what to do because I really can't afford this anymore now. She knows all about the layoffs and my financial situation and how much I'm struggling but hasn't mentioned anything with her fee. She also knows that right now I'm kind of in the middle of a crisis due to splitting with my husband and need her support. I am so scared to discuss this with her.
