NO!!! Why does everyone always ask if I'm testing him? I'm sorry to be rude, but these are real life circumstances... I %#@&#! up my financial situation because of my illness and my irresponsibility and therapy is not fitting well into my budget... not just the cost of the sessions, but the gas mileage as well.

Well, because it sounds like you are testing him. Are you testing to see if he will rescue you from your financial distress by perhaps seeing you at a reduced rate or telling you not to worry about it and come in anyway? I think cutting back sessions until you solve your financial situation sounds very mature and responsible. Maybe cut back to once a week or once every two weeks for a little while. We all screw up once in awhile, so try not to beat yourself up over it. Also, are there other ways to make up for the financial loss, perhaps tighten your budget in other areas so that you can keep going to all of your sessions? I know I'd cut my cable off before I'd quit therapy, so it's a matter of looking at what's most important to you.
