I do believe it deep down. And because I believe it I'd never ask for a price reduction. Because I'd be afraid he'd find reasons to get rid of me. Because I'm afraid I'm not worth taking on at a lower rate.
To be fair to him, he does take calls between sessions and only charges for them if they are extremely lengthy, at least ten minutes. He used to "catch up time" with me. Start late but finish on time. But I called him on that and he doesn't do it any more (at least not very often, maybe sometimes he gets confused). In fact that was the reason I inquired about raising the rates. I noticed my sessions were getting to be more 45 or even 40 minutes rather than 50, and I wondered aloud if that was in lieu of a rate increase. (See. I can be an annoying client. Grin.)
