I don't live in the US either. I actually live in Denmark and while we have free healthcare, it doesn't cover everything. I think they changed it in recent years so that youths would be able to get free therapy, but when I was young, there wasn't any of that. You could get 10 sessions with a therapist and pay less thanks to insurance, but after those ten sessions it was full price if you wanted to keep the same therapist and I couldn't afford that at the time. I ended up having to change therapists every ten sessions and by the end I was worse off mentally than before I started. Hence why i say that therapy is a luxury for the rich. It still is today if you are over a certain age. I could probably afford therapy if I really needed it, but it would still be expensive and with how things are going in the world, I would probably not spend money on a therapist anytime soon unless it was a life or death situation.

I'm glad therapy is free in your country though. Where do you live?
