In reply to How do you afford therapy?, posted by pinkeye on August 3, 2005, at 13:18:59
hi,
i pay my T out of my own pocket and i'm in a very tight situation finantially. But she waits for me, and charges me less than her other clients. I'm at her end of the sliding fee, and still it's expensive for me, but she waits patiently. Where I work I get paid very late so sometimes Ihave to pay my t really late- but she knows my situation and told me it's ok, we can always work something out- Fortunately!
It is expensive but I always think that it's what keeps me alive and has helped me to have hope and I think it's money well spent. If I could I would go twice a week. But I value a lot that she waits for me and charges me less- i wouldn't be able to pay otherwise...all the best

> Isn't it so very expensive? For me, I think I have maxed out my insurance pay off limits. Hereafter, if I have to go I will have the full thing out of my packet. (Not to mention that I am terminating for other reasons tomorrow - due to my move back to my country etc).
