I like to think that I have a good handle on things too and only you know for sure. Yes it can be expensive but at some point we need to invest in ourselves - not saying you have to embark on expensive therapies but determining what you need and finding the best solution.I will advocate for some way to voice your experience and process because I think that for so many of us dealing with T - at some point we did not have a voice to change it. I have no idea if insurance is an option for you. Not everyone would agree with me but I called my doctor and also our insurance company to try to coordinate a match for me that would be partially covered and then had choices that I could manage. I ended up seeing a T at an agency which I would have not thought would be the right mix BUT i was so wrong. It has been healing on many levels -as for the cost, initially it was free, then a sliding scale and now a copay - It still cost money but so much more manageable.
My DH has no idea how involved this process has been for me - yes that is one of my issues but my point is that family can know nothing, some or a lot of our realities and we control that. There is so much I haven't shared because I am not ready which used to make me cringe but I am beginning to accept that the decision to share or not is mine.
