Lol, WHAT?
Get a new therapist ASAP
No
No. Have cycled brought 3 therapist and never have I disclosed my salary details
Your salary is irrelevant in this context. I hope you are able to find a better therapist asap.
Pro
Op find a new therapist lol
Report him
Have never heard of this- been in therapy for decades.
Weird

I went around and didn’t give him the amount and then he straight out said “What, is it difficult for you to tell me what your salary is?”
I made up an amount that is 2x lower than what I make. But then was thinking could he ask for verification? Not exactly sure how this sliding-scale works..
He probably operates a sliding salary. However, that kind of tone or response is enough to go elsewhere.

Is it possible they want to know if you’re experiencing financial difficulties that could be causing stress or other issues?
Pro
Then they should just ask the question lol
Pro
Uh, no.
I mean I know some therapists do sliding scales if you’re not going through insurance but honestly no idea how they verify it. Maybe google it
If you’re not asking for them to give you a discount based on a sliding scale, it’s definitely weird. If you are trying to get a cheaper rate, I think it’s totally normal.
Been to.... A lot of therapists over the last 10 years, never really went to one that didn't outright state their pricing. There were no scales or incomes involved...
This is weird
