When reading this on the boards it makes me wonder. This us oy something that has ever come up for me. When I have meek concerned about being able to afford therapy, my husband has always made it clear he would do whatever it takes for me to continue going. He would get a second job if necessary. With long term T we had a period where I was concerned. She told me to never worry about the money I could pay her whenever.

The part of me who fears being a burden to others fears that if I didn't pay for the appointments I would become a burden. I often struggle with phone call between appointments. T has always said she does not bill for it, period. If she chooses to allow outside contact she is making the choice to accept it without cost.
