I just realised the header
'how much is it appropriate to spend on therapy'
kind of implied that other proportions / amounts / whatever...
would be 'inappropriate' to spend on therapy.
sorry :-(
i was more getting at the point of how basic in my living i should be prepared to go in order to get therapy.
sigh.
i messed up sorry.
sorry sorry.
it is more about me. my issues my sh*t. trying to figure if it is too much *for me* or not. on the upside... i got a response back from her... she suggested i check out rape crisis you see... so i replied about not having been SA and so she replied back to that.
a little speel about the traumatic model etc etc. and about how rare it was for someone to be dx'd with the disorder without that in their history and so maybe i should reconsider dx if the person who dx'd me isn't a 'registered' psychologist / psychiatrist. i think that is how she put it lol.
so i got the chance to say who made the dx (well regarded person). and about how she seemed to think there would be trauma too... and about how imo any trauma there might be is related to isolation / neglect... and about how i walked out on someone for *insisting* on history of SA. and about how i have been thinking... and i want treatment to be about improved communication (for me not between parts of me and a t) and stuff... so i said i was checking around for pricings etc... and i said i *might* be able to manage it but then the first thing we would have to work on would be getting me a part time job. lol.
so i feel better now.
she saw some more of me. what i think. what i want. etc. and so maybe i'll hear back from her or maybe i won't. if i don't then i'll see how things go... have an appt. with someone in the public service... if that turns to custard then i can contact her again. have sent out a couple emails to other people too and waiting to hear back from them (re pricing and so on).
so...
productive day.
sorta. need to do some real work.
