My therapist charges 70 percent of her usual fee for sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours noticed, but she does offer her regulars one free pass a year. I've only ever cancelled at the last minute because of bad weather. I'm usually more than happy to avail myself of her services. But I also don't really have a mental disorder, minus some infrequent and episodic mild depression. I would suspect that certain populations aren't particularly compliant.
Good job with the financial stuff, Tulip. I'm glad things are looking up!
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
