No, I do not feel it has had much of an impact on my life. So far all I've been getting out of it is a place to talk about things I can't talk about with regular people. However, that could just be because it takes more work or because I haven't done my part.

But seeing as she does have a financial incentive to keep me coming back, wouldn't actually helping me in a way that would have a major impact be counterproductive to that since I would then be likely to stop seeing her? Furthermore, what if she just tells me false things that I like to hear rather than the truth because she feels that I would be likely to stop coming back? Also, what if because of things I told her she actually has made a moral judgement on me and doesn't think I deserve to be helped and thinks it's ok for her to just keep getting money out of me and wasting my time?
