I'm feeling very proud of myself, since I usually don't ask for anything. But as of today I'm cutting my hours from full to part time, so that I can attend an addictions treatment program. Big cut in income, so I'm going to have to tap into my emergency savings. I'm ok with that but affording T was going to be a problem.
So she's agreed to drop her fee to $100 /session from $160 which saves me $240 a month, which will really help me, and I don't feel like I'm screwing T. I pay for my sessions entirely out of pocket and don't get any insurance reimbursement so this was a big deal. --splitimage

Good for you, for getting up the courage to ask! I'm glad she was able to work with you on the price.

That is wonderful!
I really like to see times when both parties wish to be fair to each other and are committed to the process enough to be flexible.

That is wonderful, congrats!!
 Wow, $160 - my T charges $150 a session. I'm not looking forward to when my insurance runs out, and I have to start covering those!

I don't pay because mine is NHS.

((((((((((splitimage)))))))))))) Remind me to not move to your part of Ontario.
That's expensive...   Good for you! I admit when I complained about the cost to my T, I was scared ----less!

Good for you, splitimage!! That was brave, and good self-care, and it totally paid off. I'm so happy for you that you can do the treatment program AND continue with T
