And therefore pay out of pocket?

I didn't realize it made a difference. I've had a few different insurances and it's always been covered to some extent if it's in-network. Never been asked to prove it was necessary.

Or make a meme about it and share with the entire internet, that works too. For instance, I once heard about this guy who was SUPER straight... (Pro-Tip: he ain't straight:-P).

$100 per session maybe, go once a quarter

That's around the rate in my town anyway.

[–] johnlobo@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

go vent to some hooker or prostitute, it is cheaper.

[–] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No it's not... Again rates in my town.

[–] johnlobo@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

your town therapist is cheaper? lmao

[–] Lesrid@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

They're colluding to inflate the price.

[–] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah it's Canada, therapy is 100$/h and prostitutes are $200/h. Do you live in some hellhole where therapy is $400 and prostitutes are $10?

[–] johnlobo@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

so you're saying prostitute have better life then therapist there? smh. the therapist need therapy

[–] bane_killgrind@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

I don't think work volume and conditions are comparable.

I know I want therapy to be affordable and prostitutes that are not living on the cusp of death

Get a cat.

Vent to the cat.

Therapists are professionally supposed to keep themselves distanced from the emotional state of the subject, but that comes naturally for cats because they couldn't care less about your feelings.

On the other hand, if you want some empathysing with what you're feeling, get a dog (ideally mid-sized or larger) instead.

PS: I'm only semi-kidding.
