My approach to this field was forged early in my career by being completely taken advantage of by a couple of women. You know the saying, "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." (Or as GW said it, "fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice and... uh... uh... twice the fool shall be.")
I demanded up front payment for sessions from that point forward, and I didn't mind being pretty direct about it. People responded very well to it so I built my foundation on that directness from that point forward.
