When you can find a therapist that asks open-ended questions AND listens AND understands addiction.... WIN!
It was expensive. It was worth it. I wish I had kept searching for a therapist when I wasn't in crisis mode. That would have been better, and saved years of agony from stupid decisions. Unfortunately / fortunately, this is the first one I've found worth her salt.
I just finished. It cost me $825 for 8 sessions. I have no insurance for it, so I worked harder, and will continue, to pay it off. Let me repeat: it was worth it!
Good for you, GB! Just knowing there's help waiting for you is enough for awhile!
