If you sold the SUV and bought a hybrid car (like a Prius), you would save a ton of money on gas given how much you drive. Would more than pay for the $20 you pay for each therapy session. For me there would be no question about it (and I've done my own version of buying too expensive and too impractical of a car), I'd rather have therapy as it does much more for me as an individual than driving around in a car.
It seems to me like you can afford therapy, you just want to preserve a certain lifestyle for yourself and not have to change in order to do so. Nothing wrong with that, but at only $20/session (most people have to pay much more for therapy), it's really not an expense that makes much of a dent in your overall expenses compared to others.
