ECHOES, T and I discussed his billing last time, and I don't feel a need to revisit it right now. He is a professional and needs to bill for his time. I do contract work sometimes, and it is respectful to oneself to bill for every minute. If you are continually doing "free" work, what does that say about how you value yourself? These are my thoughts, not my T's. He is struggling a bit now on how or whether to change his billing practices so as to better reflect the work he does outside of session for his clients. ECHOES, I do think you're right about the therapy fee being somewhat global. If I keep my emails infrequent and short, I think this is within what he can provide to me for free.

Since anything and everything is important in therapy, I do still believe your thoughts and feelings on this are appropriate and are expected there. It is actually unfair to T to censor. Like a book with a chapter or pages missing...

I'm glad you found a way to reply to his email in a way that felt comfortable to you.
