Thanks, Solstice.
I think my instincts tell me to go with my old therapist. I wonder if the financial factor is at all working at me beneath the surface. He charges $100 per session typically, but has a sliding scale. I don't know how to figure out what I can pay him on a sliding scale. I have a little money in my bank account now and earn $96 per week at my job. He told me to talk to my parents to help me see what we thought we could afford. I haven't talked to my parents about it yet-- I almost don't want to tell them. My family is not very wealthy and I think they would see me going back to him, instead of using the free service I have, as being selfish.
I just made up a number and told him that I could pay $90 a week, but I don't know that I really can. How do you figure out what you can pay on a sliding scale? This is something that I feel so awkward talking to my therapist about.
