to ask what you pay per session for therapy?

[Willyouwritetome]

The Priory charge £160 per session which seems outrageous to me but wanted to ask what others pay for private therapy?

You can find someone a lot cheaper and hopefully better in terms of connecting with your trauma.
Have you considered group therapy groups for survivors of children ex abuse, social
meet up groups, there’s sadly an army of survivors out there, it might be good to meet other people who understand.

Again, not how it works, you don't get to dictate what thread a person stays on

No, but we can not engage with you any further 👋

Absolutely!

Tried one therapist in Mayfair - £200 for an hour. No gelling at all. Decades of experience.

Tried another through BUPA for £50. Nope. He didn’t really ever say anything back?

Found my current one at £75 for 50 mins and she’s fab!

You can chose not to engage, you can't decide for anyone else.

Is this how you deal with your therapist if they challenge you? Refuse to engage.

I'm a Play Therapist - PTUK registered and it is regulated as are BACP therapists. I trained for 4 years at post grad level and I charge schools between £48-55 for a 40min session. Depending on how many they want me to see.

(It's not the same as draw and talk or sand therapy!!!)

£120 per hour for my psychotherapist luckily I have BUPA through work.

I have private medical insurance too but they have decided now that my MH issues are a “chronic condition” so no longer covered.

Spot who most needs therapy on this thread yet is the most resistant 😹

What do I need therapy for?

You are interested in therapy but you also sound very scared of it.

I am not interested in it.
I don't get the fascination with it.
I don't get that it is the default for anything and everything.
I don't get how all 3 members of one family are in need of it - that to me smacks of learnt behaviour.

For most people, it’s not that they are fascinated with it, it’s because they are in a lot of emotional pain and want to feel healthy emotionally. The alternative is, you take it out on the world and get angry at that instead, then wonder why nobody wants to hang out with you

You don't need to "get it".

Fucking hell. What a shitty selfish de-rail.
