I just finished a book about psychotherapy and it said many clients get attached to the therapy room. It can be like a sanctuary, so comfortable and safe. My t is moving in 2 weeks. I am also more attached to her awesome, cozy, safe space than I am to her. Makes perfect sense, schizoid or not, to feel attached to the room, I think.

As for the fee thing-- I think every therapist ought to have a sliding fee scale, but that's just me. Sorry your t isn't willing to work with you on that. I guess what concerns me more than that is what your t is or isn't doing to help you deal with the stirred up trauma stuff you are experiencing now. She should be discussing with you what can be done to help you-- at least in ideas to transform the room (can partitions or curtains be used to create a small room within the room??).

Moving an office into a kid's room to treat adults isn't exactly providing a professional setting. Nor is it a safe setting for those with childhood trauma. I would not be comfortable doing therapy in a "daycare" type environment. It wouldn't provide the right kind of energy for me. If my t expected me to pretty much just deal with it without making adjustments or helping me cope, I'd find someone else.
