Has this happened to you? Did it impact the way you believe your T cares about you or do you view it as 'paid caring' (i.e. fake)? Did it change your relationship?
Do you have any thoughts or feelings you would care to share?
PS: I am not talking about those Ts who are willing to accommodate you or lower their rates, I am talking about those Ts who are like: 'these are my rates, take it or leave it'

Well the way I always looked at it was, even the therapist with the most passion for caring about and helping people and the best possible, purest intentions would need to earn a living to not starve to death and to put the bread on the table for the family. So to me, it seems like a fair arrangement to pay for their time. Don't really have any feelings about it beyond that.
