I also wonder if there is a more secure way for me to pay you for the time being to avoid checks getting lost? Do you have Venmo, for instance? (I would rather not use a credit card.)”
Buttery-*****y is someone who is being a *****, but very sweetly.
And now I am one of those people who ask other people if they have Venmo.
Chihiro—attachment is not a good reason to stay in *any* bad relationship. “I just need to see him for four more months and then that is it” is better.
Actually I feel like writing a check is more personal. Like it reminds me I am choosing to be in therapy. Credit card payment makes me feel therapy is the same as a trip to the grocery store and even I know that it’s not.

So, I'm filling in my own word for the *****, but am wondering if it's the correct one? Does it start with a "B"?
And that makes sense about writing a check being more personal--I hadn't considered that aspect. We just really don't use checks for anything anymore (all electronic), so if I were to use them for therapy, we'd have to pay for them just for that. And not sure how I'd handle them being virtual--I guess mailing them?
Maybe part of my issue with Dr. T charging my credit card at the end of session, right before I left, was tied into it feeling like the grocery store. When he started doing that at the beginning, it was easier for me. Because it wasn't tied into the parting words. Like "Let me pay you for this service now." Especially if it was a session that left me really upset. Paying at the beginning, that part was done with, then we'd proceed with the session. Now it's all detached from it, and sometimes he doesn't do the billing for a week or so.
