Saying "I won't leave you"

This must have been very comforting to hear, even if you never do it.

I have to admit, in the few sessions I've had with T money has been mentioned a few times. I asked about a sliding-fee scale for weekly sessions. She said they didnt do they, she had bills to pay. OK, I get it. We all have bills to pay. I dunno, maybe I just took it too harshly. Later on when she mentioned I could begin coming weekly if I wanted she said, "if you can afford it." Again, it hit me kinda hard. I absolutely would never ask for anything free from her or anyone. Never. I got the feeling she thought I could be one of those clients who whined about money constantly and expected some free sessions. I think my whole problem with her is, I expected more warmth than I got and I cant seem to recover.

My T also said something similar. Basically we'll do the work regardless if I can afford it or not. I thought that was nice to say, but I would feel bad about it.. Wouldn't want him to resent me. But it's nice to know that option could be there. I guess it's another way of him saying he won't leave me, no matter what?
