The exorbitant fee my therapist charged was one of the cues which allowed me to leave therapy and not return. Every time I was tempted to book an appointment, I remembered the cost, and all the better things that money could buy.
Going forward, you may find the increased cost allows you to look at therapy from a more practical standpoint. Is she really doing $100 of work? Are you really getting $100 of value out of each session? Is her work really five times more valuable than the work you used to do?
Your answers may be very different from mine. Unless I was in a severely distressed state and therapy was the difference between life and death, or life and exceptional misery, I don't think a therapist could provide anywhere near $100 worth of value.
