As someone who has tried therapy a few different times over the past couple years, I am not unfamiliar with feeling “stuck”. It can be tough to get out of the rut when you find yourself falling into familiar patterns, especially when you love your therapist and don’t want to “disappoint” them. Learn from me - there is no such thing as getting an ‘A’ in therapy! Your therapist is there to help you meet your goals. If you feel that you are not progressing, it is okay to speak up, and it is important to advocate for yourself and your needs.⁠
According to @nnedv, "[f]inancial abuse is a common tactic used by abusers to gain power and control in a relationship. The forms of financial abuse may be subtle or overt but in in general, include tactics to conceal information, limit the victim’s access to assets, or reduce accessibility to the family finances. Financial abuse – along with emotional, physical, and s3xual abuse – includes behaviors to intentionally manipulate, intimidate, and threaten the victim in order to entrap that person in the relationship. In some cases, financial abuse is present throughout the relationship and in other cases financial abuse becomes present when the survivor is attempting to leave or has left the relationship." ⁠⁠
