Sorry to hear that, frustrating! ๐Ÿ˜“

Is this an hours initial conversation with a therapist? The price seems excitingly high ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Well I went twice. The second time the dsm was immediately on the table, and I felt I had to defend myself and didn't feel heard at all. We never had a dialogue or any form of active listening so I felt he jumped to conclusions.

I wonder if there's a local regulatory board that you can seek resolution from. At best it doesn't sound like a fair business practice. That sounds expensive for the US, let alone anywhere in the Eurozone.

Well I called with the insurance and they said prices are very high at the moment for therapy. I now have to pay 27 euros every month for the next two years. Kinda crazy when you think about it.

That is a fantastic deal compared to what most people in the US pay. I do empathize though. It's a public good. It should be free.
