Starting Therapy Anew


I've located a therapist that I can respect, and bond with enough to engage in a regular client relationship. We had an initial, free session, and scheduled a regular.

This of course, adds the worry to my life of, how am I going to pay for this?! It's actually cheaper without insurance, which I don't have anyway. But I have to put $360 a mo. into this. Comparatively cheap, but not cheap for a working class sod.
If I'm to become a therapist- an effective one- I must first transition myself, and understand the therapy process. That is, of course, if I want to pursue that route. Not sure, yet. There is not enough time in the world.

This therapist uses a method of working through our oppressions. Just up my alley as a Matrix theorist who wants to break away from control.

I do think the 50-60 minute time slot thing is fucked up, and doesn't do a lot of good for the patient. If I ever practice, I may not do it that way. I may use 2 hour -1 day slots, and try to get through things all at once, rather than whittling at them bit by bit to ensure client longevity.

These hour sessions leave people wanting more, almost 'chasing a buzz all night,' as they told us our clients should be at bartending school.

We will see how it goes, anyway.
