Abril's path to healing - weekly cognitive behavioral therapy in Bogotá
After a house fire, Abril has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $350.
🇨🇴 Bogotá, Bogotá D.C., Colombia890 views
After a house fire, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to weekly cognitive behavioral therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at Bogotá Wellbeing Centre cost $30 each.
I have been honest with my employer and taken some time off, but I can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions I could afford. My therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and I know that consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part, and I'm grateful for your kindness without judgment.
The money will be paid directly to the counselor's practice, with a session-by-session record.
Where the $350 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $240
• Psychiatric assessment: $90
• Workbook and resources: $20
If you're reading this, thank you.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Abril?
good luck, Abril. Hope the doctors have good news. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro.
Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Take care, Abril. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Manchester
Good luck, Abril. Looking forward to the next update.
wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together.
Keep going, Abril. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. I hope July is when things finally get easier.
Shared it with a few friends. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Duque de Caxias
Wishing you the best, Abril. Get well soon. Thinking of Bogotá
