SN therapy questions...

[out_there]

How much do you think Abby charges for a session? $90 or $175? Dan mentions that he pays her $700 per month (Youch. That's my rent when I'm living alone in a two bedroom place.) and I'm trying to work out if he sees her once or twice a week.

I remember Abby's walls as being a funky dark orange. Am I right, or have I totally lost it?

I'm trying to write a fic that features quite a bit of Abby and Dan talking (in my head, it's been dubbed the Therapy fic), and I'm uncertain. All I know of therapists, I've learned from TV. (Okay, well I've seen a therapist like... three times in uni, but that was mainly to get special consideration on my results after my granddad died mid-semester. It was required, and it wasn't an ongoing thing by any means.)

Hence, I'm writing a fic, and I *think* I've got Abby's voice right, but I'm not sure if she's being too personal or not professional enough. Of course, it would help if this wasn't all armchair psychology, if I was researching this stuff a little, but instead, I'm flying by the seat of my pants.

Yeah, we like her too, and it does seem to work for Dan. I guess my roommate's biggest issue is the way their whole relationship starts, with her allowing the lines between date and session to blur. It works because it makes Danny come to her in the first place, but it's not very realistic.
