Hey.
> And, IMHO it's totally valid to consider whether you can afford expensive therapy. It sounds like you're concluding that you can't afford it.I think it is a bit too much...
> Being a student can be very difficult. But at least it's a temporary financial difficulty, and hopefully you'll have more resources in the future.
Maybe... Hard to say. Over half the people who complete never work in the field... If I don't get a job... I've decided to study medicine. Lol. That will take care of me for the next 10 years or so... And I'll be poor, yes... Though might have better luck with the public service in that region (maybe maybe...)
> It's easy to be angry at therapists or the mental health system, or whatever, for not making therapy more available for people who are struggling, isn't it.
Yes.
> And yet, I guess it's not fair to ask therapists to sacrifice their own financial health for it.
Of course. But then I also think it depends on what you mean by 'financial health'. I mean... 1/3 of my salary is going to be a whole heap less than 1/3 their salary I'm pretty sure of that... But I guess I'm fairly time / energy intensive lol.
Thanks for your response...
There must be a middle way...
I'm just trying to find it...
