So last week, at the end of our session, Eileen told me that in our current batch of sessions, we have 23 left currently, and she asked for more, and we were granted another 8 on top of the 23, but after that, we won’t get funding for any more.
So that leaves me with two options. Ask Dr. Barry if she can help me out, by applying for funding from the organization that she works for, or pay Eileen myself.
I’m willing to pay for my therapy, and Eileen is willing to give me a reduced fee, if it comes to it.
But last week, I asked Dr. Barry, and she’s going to put an application in for me for funding. She did say it is unlikely to be accepted, that no application that she’s ever put in before for private psychotherapy was ever accepted. But she’s willing to try and I am so thankful to her for that.
If it isn’t accepted, then I’ll be paying 40 euro per week for my therapy, and I may have to do it over zoom, unless I can budget so that I can afford the taxi’s to and from Eileens office.
Taxi’s both ways come to 40 euro per week also.
So we’ll see what happens. I’m more than a little worried, but I’m trying not to stress out too much. I really can’t afford to stress, we have too much stuff right now that we need to work on in therapy, and that needs to be our priority right now.
I’ll stress about the cost, funding etc. when it gets closer to the end of our funded sessions..

The taxis are so expensive! It seems such a waste in its way. Is there an agency/trustworthy friend like from that phone help place that can give you a ride for less than that…?

No, not on an ongoing basis, it’s too much to ask of them they might be able to do it once a month, but that’s about it

That’s hard. We have the same problem here in the US–hard to get rides, especially for modest payment. Good luck with it.

Same here. There is always something to stress about, and always the chance to say ‘forget that and relax’–

Denial and dissociation wouldn’t happen if they didn’t work for some very good reasons–
