These frame issues are endless...

Has anyone ever had their T change their session fee in the midst of treatment? Is that fee change passed on to you? Or does your fee remain the same as when you started?

My T has changed his fee since I started, but I remain with him at the old rate. I wondered if this is how it usually works--you keep at the rate you signed up for. I think he has told me twice in session that his therapy fee is now higher, but he never asks me to pay more. I have wondered if he was hinting I should pay more, but my insurance doesn't cover this, so it's already high for me. If he wants me to pay more, he is going to have to be a lot more direct about asking/telling me.

I guess what made me think of this was that recently, my career counselor increased her rate, and I pay this now, even though in our original contract, the lower rate was specified. So she handled this differently than my T.
