Yes, therapy feels good right now!
I am going through some insurance changes and they destabilized things a little. We need to come up with a new plan that I can afford that pays him what he wants (and deserves). This is a challenge, and there was some conflict (he wouldn't see me 3/week if the fee he could collect dropped significantly - he would still see me 1/week).
But I knew that I wanted to keep seeing him 3/week because this seems helpful (and therefore necessary). And I knew that I would figure out some way to pay him if I couldn't get the insurance figured out (even begging to my parents). So I wasn't freaking that I would lose therapy. I guess I was scared that travelling through this problem would injure our relationship.
Things will be OK. I'll be able to afford it, and he'll get what he wants. After today, I'm sure that will work out.
But the thing that feels so good is that *both* of us really wanted it to work out. We each had our own needs, and we each were fairly adamant about our needs, but he wanted to keep me as a patient as well as I wanted to stay.
That felt good.
