I think fees and the worth of a person's time (on both sides) is such a strange concept to begin with. There isn't enough money to compensate me for listening to someone complain about me for hours at a time, or to complain about paying me to listen to them complain about me. I realize you don't spend every session complaining about her, or even whole sessions, but man...I would find that taxing. Same as if I had to sit and listen to someone who told me not to speak for the hour. There just isn't enough money to be debased like that if the end result is that the other person is still dissatisfied. But that's me. Apparently there are those who will do that.

I have to say I am really struck by how kind and compassionate your therapist is, Rainbow. I think you have a lot to be grateful for. Maybe you would feel better by tapping into what is going right/well for you?
