Funny meme but genuine question: is it not typical to pay for therapy before the session?
I'm charged as I book the session here in Malaysia, but I'm curious as to peoples' experiences geographically and in the private & public sector.
I think it's usually invoice in Germany (to patient / insurance). Some psychoanalysts demand to paid in cash which I find hilarious.
We have the same thing in France. They say it's important so that you view the exchange as a transaction and not just you trauma dumping or whatever.
I say they are definitely not declaring all that cash to the State.
