Re: im back..... i think
That is a personal decision you need to make @outlander. If your psychologist is very effective in helping you, but you change to another one who less effective for you, it may take more appointments to achieve the same result ...... so it's either paying for extra appointments, or extending treatment longer which means more appointments in the long run even though it's cheaper along the way, week by week.
Your finances naught dictate the choice, making it annoy-choice in that respect. Talking these things out can help you to see the path more clearly ..., which way to go ..., which is exactly what therapy does at the treatment level.

Re: im back..... i think
I want to get better @Faith-and-Hope thats why i started treatment in the first place. But i dont seem to be getting very far but i havent had a stable psych relationship yet. This one will be my 4th psych I might just have to get yet another small job that i can do when my pop is ok to be left for a few hours

Yes, that is another way to manage @outlander .... this conversation is helping you to work out your priorities and what you might need to do to achieve them.
Good work .... ❣️

Re: im back..... i think
Yes though im.not sure about yet another job as im limited in independence as well and i dont want to commit to another job and i have to keep pulling out as caring reaponsibilities come first before anything else. I will have to work something out maybe if its only a once a month session instead of fortnightly @Faith-and-Hope

Re: im back..... i think
I think @Faith-and-Hope is right @outlander, the choice is yours. I would say, going by the stress I read in your posts, that I think it is still important that you have professional assistance. Could you ask your Doctor about another mental health program? I understand the financial problem with attending Psych appointments. Maybe you could look through the SANE information pages, or send them an email asking for low finance solutions? Are you still going to the anxiety one? . . . Did you take your medications this morning? (nag, nag, nag :))
