My T. will tell me, I think we better stay in contact. Last week when I was in, I was struggling and she said, "I think you better come back in this week." I said, "good luck with that one, I have to work the rest of the week." When I left, she said, "we better have an appointment on the docket"....I said "no" and walked out. I don't think she wants to lose the money I pay her even though she gives me a reduced rate. I can't afford therapy all the time and it makes the work even more painful because I feel like a loser.
Anyway, I can relate to them getting us to come back and we feel like we have to because they like us to depend on them. It's their business they are running, if they didn't have returning patients, then they'd go broke!!
Do they really care about us, or just their pocketbook???
I say do what works best for you no matter what your T. says.
