This took 10 minutes.

So i thanked her for her honesty and went to leave. But she wanted full payment for the session.
I asked her if that was fair and reasonable. THEN she asked for half.......

I told her if she really wanted 50 bucks she could have it.

I was paying cash to avoid medicare and being on a record.....

She said oh no then.... I told her not to worry about a referral and walked off.

Bloody therapy is all crap. You cant trust them. I studied with and drank with them before.

No worries not drinking. But did have to go to the fish and chip shop.

Still really upset about it though.
Obos, I'm studying to be a therapist right now. I know a referral can seem like a slap in the face, but a good therapist refers a patient they aren't able to help. It's a fundamental ethical requirement. I hope you don't give therapy up; there is a myriad of styles and forms.
