I see my T every 4 to 5 weeks. This was my idea due to the money. I just started making appointments for every 3 weeks. My T told me not to worry about the money but he wrote off over $1000.00 previously and I feel guilty for not paying. How can I say, I can't afford it when I tell him we bought a house, my husband bought a motorcycle and we paid $700.00 for our dog ect.
Does anyone feel I should allow my T to not charge me what my insurance doesn't pay?

A week ago, I brought in a list of tramas that happened to me since childhood @ his request. I typed 3 pages up after thinking about it for a month. I have had flashbacks and memories recalled that I forgot about. I just remember another one the other day. I cannot believe how many things did happened to me. In 3 weeks, I will see what he has to say after reading what I wrote and what kind of approach in therapy he will start using. I know one thing, he was totally shocked at my list. I felt like, he looked at me different like my list scared him most likely, I read him wrong and it was my imagination. He had no idea what I have dealt with all these years. I didn't either, I repressed most of them until now.

I have been seeing him on and off for 12 years. He thought he was mostly treating me for chronic pain and 1 sexual abuse incident. As he wrote for my diagnosis single-episode w/ major depression. Than after my step-son was murdered 8 years ago, he added PTSD w/ panic and anxiety attacks.
