After bullying at school, Arthur has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $500.

After bullying at school, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 9 months, and private sessions at São Paulo Wellbeing Centre cost $20 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 24 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.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $500 goes:
• 24 therapy sessions: $420
• Psychiatric assessment: $70
• Workbook and resources: $10
I hope life is good to you.
Updates from Arthur
Update from São Paulo: I met with the practice and confirmed the amounts. We're at 62% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 50% funded and the plan for 24 therapy sessions is now scheduled.

Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out
So sorry you're going through this, Arthur. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
