Fees And Other Yuk Stuff!(2011 December 22nd) Unfortunately the process of dana has not been successful, and I am not able to sustain my livelihood in this fashion; I am reverting to charging a appropriate amount for my services. Some services will be made available on a sliding scale, and my fees will often still be lower that that of the average.APTB is part of my livelihood - I do need to charge a fee (currently basic costs of $50 for rent and lunches), but essentially I choose to operate from dana - the Buddhist concept that the teachings are free, in thankfulness. Charges will still need to be made for basic costs even then. Recognizing client needs and community spirit, I keep my fees on the low side and are open to alternative forms of payment. For comparison purposes only, please note that previously, as a physician billing OHIP, I would have charged $300-400 per person for the workshop. I am no longer functioning as a therapist and my current work is exclusively educational. Much of my work occurs with clients who struggle with emotional issues, especially that of anger and rage (see Anger, Rage and Violation). I am willing to teach the basic principles of emotional management but am no longer available for active change work. I am available for educational coaching at a full
fee basis, compatible with my previous practice. |
