Who can afford it? The expense is prohibitive. Usually experience is commensurate with price. Is there any solution – like therapy gemachs or something?

He discovered the cable was unplugged, and reconnected it. He handed the CPA an invoice for $500. The accountant asked him for an itemized bill. It read, “Plugging in printer – $5. Knowing what to do – $495.

It is a fortune but i do see it is a major help to me – this money can change someone’s lives and how they interact with those around them so in a way it is really money well spent

July 22, 2012 2:42 pm at 2:42 pm #886743TheGoqParticipantThere is no doubt it is expensive i was in therapy for like 4,5 years but it was a life altering experience, i learned to love myself in those sessions to realize i have something to offer even now 5 years after ive stopped it carries on with me it was the single smartest thing i ever did and worth every penny.
I had a lot of childhood baggage to go through and through therapy i literally altered my whole perception of myself it was well worth the money.
