how is anyone here affording what therapists and shrinks charge?

Insurance through Obamacare. My plan is actually better than most people with employer insurance who pay as much as I do or more. Pretty messed up, but I'm not gonna knock it.

I access counselling via a local charity. I had to wait for a while before they even opened their application form, and then some more until someone was available to see me. Despite my current state of mind, I think it has been helpful to talk some of my trauma through and have someone reflect it back to me and get me to think about it in a different way.

I'm an American with Medicaid (welfare insurance). All of the therapists I've seen have been ones who accepted Medicaid. They've also all sucked, so I don't recommend this method.
