Do you mind sharing the approximate cost of one of these sessions? 7 hours of therapy sounds expensive and exhausting



It actually just cost me an average hourly rate for therapy! It feels expensive considering that I had to pay for 7 hours at a time but it really just cost a regular hourly wage.
