In reply to T is shortening sessions!, posted by LauraG on September 27, 2004, at 21:18:46
I have a very unusual situation in which my self-employed T does 70 minute sessions for the same fee. He says he can't get anything meaningful done under an hour. I think this causes him to sacrifice one potential patient a day, but he's clearly not in it for the money. I don't think anyone could be.
Forty-five minutes sounds very short, and I think your reaction is legitimate especially in context with other things she has done that feel uncaring to you. Be sure to tell her it's not just about the shortened sessions, but other things as well. It sounds like she really needs to do some explaining about her feelings and philosophy. Good luck.
