I agree with twin leaf that he could have been more helpful and empathetic, but it's awesome the way he ended with a hug and reassurance.
I think therapists might get tired of being compared to prostitutes; it is a very common feeling, but also a little degrading to them and the work they do. I have said something similar to two of them, and they both looked pained.
It sounds like the money thing brings up questions of value for you--(which sounds pretty obvious, but bear with me)--I think it is more helpful to think of the money part as totally unrelated to how much you two value each other, which cannot be quantified or represented by a number. Maybe not as easily done as said, I know.
