Annelie's path to healing - EMDR therapy in Pietermaritzburg
A course of EMDR therapy for Annelie could change everything; the cost is $800.
🇿🇦 Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa1,121 views
After a violent robbery, Annelie has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred her to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Pietermaritzburg cost $30 each.
Annelie has been honest with her employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Annelie could afford. The therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Annelie, and we're 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 $800 goes:
• 20 therapy sessions: $660
• Psychiatric assessment: $105
• Workbook and resources: $35
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Annelie
Sure. The biggest one is 20 therapy sessions, $660. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.
Best of luck, Yusuf. Get well soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Lagos.
So sorry you're going through this, Yusuf. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Pietermaritzburg
keep going. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Take care, Yusuf. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 18 people at work. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Yusuf. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Gazipur
