I am seeing my therapist remotely after a break from seeing her when I lost my insurance. But lately the thought has occurred to me that what if she has a financial incentive to keep me coming back even if she can't or doesn't intend on helping me? I noticed she seemed to ask a couple questions about my insurance, seemingly trying to assess if I wad going to be able to continue seeing her. Also when I asked her about certain medications, she seemed to be in favor of not switching to the new one(SSRI) which I hadn't tried before. She also said that medications might help my mood but they won't fix my underlying beliefs about myself. This has led me to wonder if maybe she has a financial incentive to keep me coming back and that when she is validating me and being supportive of my feelings she doesn't genuinely feel that way but thinks that it will keep me coming back. How do I know this isn't what's going on?
